Rwandan presidential aide Rose Kabuye arrived Wednesday in Paris after being extradited from Germany over an assassination that triggered the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, one of her lawyers said.

She was flown to Charles de Gaulle airport near Paris and was en route for the capital`s law courts, the lawyer said.

French investigators suspect Kabuye of involvement in the downing of a plane that killed presidents Juvenal Habyarimana of Rwanda and Cyprien Ntaryamira of Burundi and two French pilots on April 6, 1994.

Following the attack, Habyarimana`s ethnic Hutu supporters went on the rampage, slaughtering 800,000 ethnic Tutsi and moderate Hutu men, women and children in an horrific orgy of violence lasting just a few weeks.
