A French investigation has found that the missile which brought down the Rwandan president's aircraft in 1994 and prompted the country's genocide, was not fired by circles close to the current Rwandan president, Paul Kagame.
The findings essentially clear several people close to Kagame, who was the leader of the Tutsi fighters at the time of the assassination of President Juvenal Habyarimana, a Hutu.
