    Genocide suspect Augustin Ndindiliyimana, who was arrested in Belgium on Saturday, will be transferred to the ICTR following discussions with the Belgian authorities, the ICTR's chief of prosecutions Mohammed Othman told the Hirondelle news agency. However, the former chief of military police will not be judged alongside a group of Rwandan military officers already
    being held in Arusha. This group includes Theoneste Bagasora, the former cabinet director in the defence ministry. "He [Ndindiliyimana] will tried with a number of military officials who we are still looking for," Othman said. "Some of them have already been found, others not yet."
