Attacks in Rwanda genocide week

Tensions remain between genocide survivors and perpetrators

There have been two fatal attacks in Rwanda during a week of mourning for the victims of the 1994 genocide.

Police spokesman Marcel Higiro said armed men threw a grenade at the genocide museum in the capital, killing one policeman and injuring another.

In a separate incident, a car was driven at speed through a commemoration procession, killing one person.

A BBC reporter in Rwanda says tensions remain between survivors and the many people who took part in the killings.

About 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus were killed in 100 days 14 years ago.

An official says the museum was not damaged in the attack on Thursday evening.

"This act of terrorism was intended to frighten people away from coming to the Kigali Memorial Centre, but has had the opposite effect," said James Smith, head of the Aegis Trust which runs the museum.

The BBC's Geoffrey Mutagoma in the capital, Kigali, says he saw more than 1,000 genocide survivors at the centre on Friday paying their respects to slain friends and relatives.

A man has been arrested in connection with the procession incident, our reporter says.

The genocide was triggered in April 1994 by the shooting-down of ethnic Hutu President Juvenal Habyarimana's plane as it was coming in to land in Kigali.

The killing continued until a Tutsi-dominated rebel army seized control.
