A terrorism suspect was gunned down in the Rwandan capital of Kigali after engaging security forces in a three-hour shootout.
According to police, the suspect who is a Rwandan national identified as Channy Mbonigaba, barricaded himself in a house and injured one police officer during the battle in the Nyarutaramahe district.
The police also revealed that, since last year, the Rwandan National Police had been investigating “individuals suspected of being radicalised and linked to foreign terrorist organisations”, and that several had appeared in court, but gave no details of the organisations involved.
