Rwanda denies shooting army chief
Rwanda has said it was not behind the shooting of an exiled former military chief of staff in South Africa.
Lt Gen Faustin Kayumba Nyamwasa, a critic of Rwanda's president, is recovering in hospital after being shot outside his Johannesburg home.
His wife said it was an assassination attempt as the lone gunman had made no demand for money or goods.
But Rwanda's Foreign Minister Louise Mushikiwabo told the BBC the government did not condone violence.
Sources close to Lt Gen Nyamwasa told the BBC on Sunday that he was recovering and should be able to leave hospital in a few days. BBC Africa analyst Martin Plaut says that since leaving Kigali in February, Lt Gen Nyamwasa had been a thorn in the flesh of President Paul Kagame, whom he accuses of corruption.
The Nyamwasas had been returning from a shopping trip at around midday on Saturday (1000 GMT) when the gunman approached their car. - BBC
