BRUSSELS, April 15 (AFP) - Luxembourg's honorary consul in Rwanda was one of the first of thousands of people killed there in ethnic bloodshed over the past nine days, the Luxembourg Foreign Ministry said here Friday.
It said the consul, Charles Shamukiga, had been arrested in Kigali by three armed soldiers and a government army captain, taken away and killed despite claiming diplomatic immunity.
The ministry said the Luxembourg authorities were trying to evacuate Shamukiga's family.
