Three Rwandan rebels have been arrested and charged with the 1999 slaying of two American tourists in Uganda during a trip to see mountain gorillas.
Rob Haubner and his wife, Susan G. Miller, were hacked to death along with four British and two New Zealand tourists by Rwandan Hutu rebels. The rebels targeted English speakers in a bid to weaken U.S. and British support for Rwanda’s new government, U.S. authorities said.
A federal grand jury indicted the three Feb. 25. They were arrested in Rwanda over the weekend and flown to Puerto Rico.
