   The  Rwandan  army says it has arrested the brother of the former army
   chief of staff on charges of "destabilization."
   Lieutenant  Colonel  Rugigana  Ngabo is the brother of General Faustin
   Kayumba  Nyamwasa,  who  was  chief  of staff until 2001 and went into
   exile in South Africa in February.
   The  army said Ngabo was arrested Friday arrest had nothing to do with
   his relationship to Nyamwasa.  Military officials said they are still
   investigating Ngabo's activities.
   Nyamwasa is a leading critic of Rwandan President Paul Kagame.
   The  country's chief prosecutor accused Nyamwasa and the other officer
   of  being involved in three grenade attacks in the capital, Kigali, in
   February.  Two  people  were  killed  and 30 others were wounded.  He
   denies any involvement. Â
