Jail for Rwandan tourist killer
A former Rwandan soldier has been given
a 15-year jail term for the murder of
eight western "gorilla tourists" and a
game warden in a Ugandan park in 1999.
The judge spared Jean Paul Bizimana,
32, the death sentence, saying some of
the tourists' home-countries view
capital punishment as "abhorrent".
He was among Rwandan rebels who
abducted 14 tourists and their guide as
they tracked rare mountain gorillas.
The tourists were from the US, the UK
and New Zealand.
