...that magnanimous message has been undercut by reports of rebels killing the Hutu as they flee the country. In the huge camps of northwestern Tanzania, a number of refugees are telling stories of massacres that they claim are committed by the R.P.F. Those tales are difficult to confirm -- and the rebels argue that they have been planted by militia in the camps as a way of deflecting blame from their own misdeeds -- but the effect is the same.

If one spotted a Tutsi family emerging from hiding and trying to flee, he blew his whistle, and his comrades sealed off any escape. "If you look in their eyes," says Daniel Bellamy of the U.N. High Commission for Refugees, who has encountered these killers at numerous roadblocks in the capital, "there is something there that is not in the eyes of normal people...
