Probe: Rwandan president killed by military fire (AP)

PARIS ? A lawyer says a French judge has determined that the missile fire that brought down the Rwandan president's plane and sparked the country's genocide came from a military camp, and not Tutsi rebels.

The ruling is in line with a report from the Rwandan government that also found extremist Hutus to blame.

After the April 1994 crash that killed then-President Juvenal Habyarimana, militants from the Hutu ethnic majority quickly set up roadblocks across the capital.

More than 500,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus were massacred in 100 days of frenzied killing. Habyarimana was Hutu

Lawyer Bernard Maingain, whose clients are close to President Paul Kagame and were under investigation, described the judge's findings Tuesday.
