            Rwandan Held in Britain on Genocide Extradition Request

   by Reuters

   A man accused of genocide was arrested in Britain on Thursday after an
   extradition request from Rwanda, London police said.

   Vincent Bajinya was detained shortly before 6:00 a.m. in the north
   London district of Islington and was due to appear at Westminster
   Magistrates Court later on Thursday, a police spokesman said.

   Four other Rwandans are also believed to have been held on extradition
   warrants, he added, although no further details on them were
   immediately available.

   Bajinya is wanted in connection with the 1994 Rwandan genocide in which
   800,000 people were killed in 100 days.

   He was first arrested in Britain in 2006 but avoided extradition in
   2009 when the High Court ruled there was a "real risk" that he would
   not receive a fair trial.
