Most Wanted Rwandan Genocide Suspect Captured After Decades On The Run

Fulgence Kayishema, a fugitive accused of orchestrating the killing of over 2,000 people at a church during the Rwandan genocide, was arrested in South Africa.
Kayishema had been indicted by the UN's International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda in 2001 but had evaded capture for over 20 years using false identities and a network of supporters.
The arrest was the result of a joint operation between the tribunal's fugitive tracking team and South African authorities.
Kayishema faces charges of genocide, complicity in genocide,conspiracy to commit genocide and crimes against humanity for the massacre of Tutsis seeking refuge in a church.
His arrest leaves only three suspects from the tribunal's list of indicted fugitives still at large.
