One of the alleged masterminds and financiers of the 1994 Rwandan genocide has gone on trial at a UN tribunal in The Hague.
Prosecutors say Félicien Kabuga aided and abetted hit squads in the slaughter of ethnic Tutsis, and used a radio station to incite hatred against them.
Some 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus were killed in the genocide.
Mr Kabuga's lawyers have filed a not guilty plea for him but he has refused to attend the opening of the trial.
