Even now, the separatist leader, Ali Salem al-Beidh, and five...
...slammed into the earth just outside the compound, killing all 10 on board. The impact blasted bodies and wreckage more than 500 ft., through a perimeter wall and up to the steps of the house where Habyarimana's wife and family were awaiting his return.
