JEDDAH, Aug 2 (Reuters) - Former Ugandan dictator Idi Amin, blamed for the murders of tens of thousands of Ugandans in the 1970s, is in "near-death condition" at a hospital in Saudi Arabia, a medical source said on Saturday.

"He is alive but remains in a near-death condition in a coma," the source at King Faisal Specialist Hospital in Jeddah told Reuters, adding that Amin was on a ventilator.

Amin came out of a coma last week and was said then to be in serious condition.

Not again. How many times does this guy have to die? He must be a vampire or something.

Muslim tyrants seem to die and reincarnate every other day. Maybe they lead double lives as Hindus.

In all due honesty I thought he had 'changed planes' 20 years ago.
Is he really still living or is this a morbid joke?!?

I hope someone is checking on Tom Daschule. He's going to be deeply saddened when the cadaver connoisuer becomes a cadaver himself. Haven't seen the little guy on the tube making outlandish accusations against W lately. Could it be that he's at the evil dictator's bedside on what the free world hopes will be Idi's final days?

He really is alive.He was living in Saudi Arabia.There have been so many near death announcements we are getting sick of the news indicating he survives.
