A French court has begun hearing the landmark trial of a former Rwandan intelligence chief charged with complicity in the 1994 genocide. Pascal Simbikangwa, who is wheel-chair bound, was arrested in 2008 when he was living under an alias on France's Indian Ocean island of Mayotte. He denies all of the charges. France has come under criticism for its slow exercise of justice after the killing of hundreds of thousands of Rwandans over 100 days in 1994.
