RWANDA ACCUSES FRENCH OFFICIALS OF GENOCIDE (REUTERS)

(01:34) REUTERS-Report
Aug. 6 - Rwanda has formally accused senior French officials of involvement in its 1994 genocide and called for them to be put on trial.

Among those named in a report by a Rwandan investigation commission were former French Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin and late President Francois Mitterrand.

France denies any wrongdoing, and says its forces helped protect people during a U.N.-sanctioned mission in Rwanda at the time.
