Rwanda genocide 'mastermind' takes the stand

THE alleged mastermind of Rwanda's 1994 genocide began his testimony yesterday at the UN tribunal trying those accused of leading the 100-day slaughter of 500,000 Tutsis in the central African nation.

"The accusation that I masterminded the genocide is malicious and meant to ruin my name," 64-year-old Colonel Theoneste Bagosora told the tribunal.
