Genocide Suspect Arrested in South Chicago Suburb

A Rwandan man who entered the United States under the false pretense that he was a victim and refugee of genocide was arrested at his Romeoville home in south suburban Chicago. In actuality, Jean-Marie Vianney Mudahinyuka, also known as Thierry Rugamba, was allegedly a member of the Rwandan militia and a participant in the 1994 genocide. Mudahinyuka will face charges in the United States of making false statements under oath on an immigration application and may face a UN tribunal that is prosecuting the extremists responsible for the deaths of about 800,000 people. Rwanda also has issued an international warrant for his arrest on charges of genocide and crimes against humanity.

You'd think that Romeoville would be filled with lovahs, but apparently not.
