Published on Jan 11, 2012 by Euronews

http://www.euronews.net/ A plane carrying the Rwandan president in 1994 was shot down by his own troops, according to a French judge.

The assassination of Habyarimana, who was from the Hutu tribe, sparked the Rwandan genocide which, according to the UN, cost the lives of 800,000 Tutsis in a little more than three months.
