A draft UN report says crimes by the Rwandan army and allied rebels in Democratic Republic of Congo could be classified as genocide.

The report, seen by the BBC, details the investigation into the conflict in DR Congo from 1993 to 2003.

It says ten of thousands of ethnic Hutus, including women, children and the elderly, were killed by the Tutsi-dominated Rwandan army.

Rwanda's justice minister has dismissed the claims as "rubbish".

The report also lists human rights violations committed by security forces from all the countries involved in what has been called "Africa's world war".

1. the Tutsis had no reason to massacre Hutus...the Rwandan

govt. was made up of Tutsis and Hutus. The extremist Hutus and the interahamwe however killed Hutus who they considered to moderate.

The interahamwe had reason to commit this Congo genocide if these Hutu refugees were sick of this war and didn't want to fight.
