Killing of an ethnic group (8)

I believe the answer is:

genocide

(Other definitions for genocide that I've seen before include "Racial extermination" , "Large-scale killing" , "Ethnic mass murder" , "Deliberate extermination of a race of people" , "whole group murdered" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
