> The Hague District Court sentenced Rwandan-born Dutch national Eugene N. to life in prison for war crimes and genocide committed during the 1994 Rwandan genocide. Prosecutors said he helped massacre about 3,000 Tutsis in Mbazi, including by throwing a grenade at people sheltering in a stadium. The court acquitted him of inciting genocide; his lawyers said they would almost certainly appeal.
