Abstract
RPF forces are equipped with anti-aircraft artillery and SA-7 portable air-to-ground missiles. When the fighting broke out in early April, Hutu regime troops had about 35 anti-aircraft artillery pieces and – according to information passed from [name withheld] to [name withheld], the US defense attaché – 15 French Mistral surface-to-air missiles. Hutu soldiers – probably including members of the presidential guard – are almost certainly responsible for the attack on former President Habyarimana's plane as it landed on April 6, 1994.
Comment
UNAMIR reported that "RPF fired towards the civil passengers aircraft twice with anti-aircraft guns this morning" on June 30, 1994.
