A FORMER Rwandan army major accused of murdering his prime minister and 10 Belgian UN peacekeepers has begged a Tanzanian court not to extradite him to Rwanda, saying he feared execution. Bernard Ntuyahaga, 48, is wanted in Rwanda for the 1994 murder of Prime Minister Agathe Uwilingiyimana and the UN troops sent to protect her at the start of a period of genocide in which Hutu extremists killed 800 000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus in 100 days. The bespectacled Ntuyahaga said he was not responsible for the killings. Ntuyahaga fled to Tanzania and in June 1998 turned himself in to the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, a UN court appointed to try genocide-related cases. – Reuters
