Rwanda recalls ambassador to France over death of former president

Rwanda has decided to recall its ambassador to France after defence minister; James Kabarebe was summoned to appear before a magistrate investigating the death of a former president.

Juvenal Habyarimana in 1994.

Jacques Kabale was recalled to Rwanda for consultation.

This latest move comes after an anti-terrorism magistrate in France decided to summon Mr. Karabe for questioning after a witness accused the Rwandan patriotic army of downing the plane carrying Mr. Habyarimana on 6 April 1994.
