Genocide suspect extradited from Germany to Rwanda

A Rwandan genocide suspect was extradited from Germany to face charges for his involvement in the massacre of over 800,000 Tutsis in 1994. 

The suspect, identified as Jean Twagiramungu was handed over to Rwandan authorities on Friday at Kigali International airport, AP reported.  

He had tried to prevent the extradition arguing that he would not receive a fair trial in Rwanda.
