OAU genocide investigation underway

    BRAZZAVILLE

    A six-member OAU team has begun its investigation into the 1994 genocide, the private Rwanda News Agency said yesterday. The International Panel of Eminent Personalities arrived in Kigali on Sunday on a five-day fact-finding mission. The probe will cover the period beginning in August 1993 and the signing of the Arusha peace accord, to the fall of the Mobutu regime in May 1997.
