Ntuyahaga hearing again postponed

    NAIROBI

    A Tanzanian court has again postponed hearing the extradition case of genocide suspect, Major Bernard Ntuyahaga, the Hirondelle news agency reported on Monday. The defendant - wanted by both Belgium and Rwanda in connection with the murder of ex- Rwandan premier Agathe Uwilingiyimana and 10 Belgian peacekeepers - is requesting a bilingual defence lawyer.

    The Tanzanian authorities have agreed to extradite him to Rwanda, but this has to be ratified by the court. The hearing is now scheduled for Wednesday.
