Category One list amended

    NAIROBI

    Before his new appointment, Rwagasore - in his capacity as general prosecutor - announced he had put his signature to a new list of "first category" genocide suspects. At least 800 names were withdrawn from the old list and replaced by 900 new suspects. Hirondelle noted that the first list, comprising some 1,946 names, had come under criticism for "imprecisions and repetition of names". Some of the people on the list had
    died before 1994, or were even victims of the genocide. Others were found to be innocent. Now, the list has been "corrected", Rwagasore said.
