Idi Amin, Ex-Dictator of Uganda, Dies 10 minutes ago
JIDDAH, Saudi Arabia - Idi Amin, whose eight years as president of Uganda were characterized by bizarre and murderous behavior, died Saturday, a hospital official said.
Amin was 80, Ugandan officials said, though other sources had him born in 1925.
Amin had been hospitalized on life-support since July 18. He was in a coma and suffering from high blood pressure when he was admitted to the King Faisal Specialist hospital. Later, hospital staff, said he suffered kidney failure.
Amin was forced from Uganda in 1979, fled to Libya, then Iraq (news - web sites) and finally Saudi Arabia, where he was allowed to settle provided he stayed out of politics.

Ugandan officials said Amin was 80 years old but other sources say he was born in 1925. It's a shame he lasted that long.

"It's a shame he lasted that long." Hmmmmm, I wonder if he credited his longevity to the diet of human flesh that as reported, he was fond of?

“I, and Israeli youth, have the duty to defend this country. It is a great responsibility that has made us come of age prematurely: people from the Moshav, the city and the Kibbutz who are united by something stronger than political affiliation. They are united by a feeling of brotherhood, mutual responsibility, recognition of the value of human life, a strong and sincere yearning for peace but at the same time a willingness to stand up to any challenge”.
- Lt. Col. Yonatan Netanyahu - Yoni, who fell during
the successful battle to release the Entebbe hostages.
Excerpts from the speech of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon
delivered today (Monday), 2.7.2001, at the State Ceremony marking 25
years since "Operation Yonatan" (the Entebbe raid).
This July 4, will be the 25th anniversary of the raid by Israeli commandos to rescue 105 Jews and Israelis who were being held hostage by Palestinian terrorists at Entebbe airport.

And thanks to our buddies the Saudis for giving him asylum all these years. Oh well, if he's gone, justice is now served, one way or another.
