President Bachelet: Earthquake Unparalleled in Chilean History News English
President Bachelet Surveying Damage

Another tremendous earthquake - this time in Chile! Although Chile has far greater internal resources (economically and politically) to deal with this catastrophe than Haiti did little more than a month ago... they will still need assistance from the international community to recover from what appears to be one of the strongest earthquakes in decades as well as an earthquake induced Tsunami!

BBC NEWS | Africa | Rwanda queen-killing suspect held

One of the most wanted suspects in Rwanda's 1994 genocide has been arrested in Uganda.

Idelphonse Nizeyimana was an intelligence chief at the time of the genocide, in which about 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus were killed.

He has been extradited to Tanzania face trial at a UN-backed tribunal, accused of organising the killing of thousands - including the former Tutsi queen.

Rwanda's government welcomed the arrest but said he should be tried in Rwanda.
