Amin’s disappearance still a mystery
United Press International
NAIROBI, Kenya — Ugandan
troops loyal to President Idi Amin
have gone on a “rampage of killings”
following an assassination attempt
against Amin in which the mercurial
dictator was wounded, the Kenya
news agency said yesterday.
The agency said Amin was
wounded during an ambush attack
last weekend and quoted sources
close to Amin as saying he had been
hospitalized in Uganda, explaining
his mysterious disappearance.
In Luxembourg, British Foreign
Secretary David Owen said Amin
“is alive and well” but would not
elaborate or give the source of his
information.
Uganda Radio mentioned Amin
for the first time in three days last
night, saying he had received last
Saturday the Uganda delegation to
an OAU meeting and thanked them
for its work. It did not explain why a
report of a Saturday meeting was
delayed until last night.
Diplomats noted, however, Amin
must personally approve all radio
Uganda announcements and the 10
p.m. broadcast perhaps signalled
that he had again taken charge after
several days absence.
A statement issued at a Common
Market meeting in Luxembourg
said any European aid to Africa
must not prolong the “denial of
human rights in Uganda.” Asked
after the meeting if the statement
was made on the assumption Amin
was still alive, Owen replied, “Amin
is alive and well.”
The Kenyan news agency report
said hundreds of Ugandans, includ
ing senior civil servants and army
officers, had fled to Kenya to escape
“a rampage of killings of innocent
people suspected of having taken
part in the assassination bid.”
“Hundreds of Ugandans, includ
ing military and civilian personnel
have defected to Kenya, running
away from certain death during the
current purge in Uganda following
the assassination attempt on Presi
dent Idi Amin late last week,” the
government agency said.
The agency quoted diplomatic
sources in Kampala as saying there
“certainly is a massacre taking place
here.”
Thousands of Christians, and
Acholi and Langi tribesmen were
reported murdered earlier in the
year after Amin allegedly uncovered
another plot to topple him.
Amin implicated the Anglican
archbishop of Uganda, Janani Lu-
wum, and two of his cabinet minis
ters in that alleged plot. The three
were later killed in what Amin called
a traffic accident. Church officials
branded it as cold blooded murder.
In Kampala, the Uganda cabinet
held a regular session but made no
mention of Amin’s whereabouts.

The Kenya agency said there was
a “mass movement of troops within
Uganda,” particularly the capital of
Kampala. Roadblocks remained in
place in the capital and armored
personnel carriers were on station at
Entebbe airport.
Amin dropped out of sight Satur
day, the second time within two
weeks, at the time news reports
began to circulate his auto had been
ambushed and badly damaged.
Diplomatic sources said it ap
peared Amin either was again play
ing a giant hoax on the world or in
deed had been wounded in a care
fully planned attack and was now
hospitalized and recovering.
Entebbe statehouse officials in
sisted Amin had been missing since
Friday and a dragnet to find him
had now been extended to foreign
countries.
An Entebbe statehouse official
contacted by telephone said: “ll. Leu

Buses set

afire, man shot
violence continues

United Press International
ROME, Italy — Terrorists shot a
Rome University professor in the
legs and set fire to seven buses in a
depot near Milan yesterday. It was
the third day of a wave of violence
coinciding with the trial of a guer
rilla leader.
Police said two young women at
tacked Prof. Remo Cacciafesta,
dean of Rome University’s School of
Economics, as he left his home yes
terday morning. He was shot four
times in the legs. They then fled in a
waiting car.
Cacciafesta, 64, an unsuccessful
Christian Democratic candidate for
parliament in last year’s elections,
was hospitalized and underwent
surgery.
A telephone caller told the ANSA
news agency the attack was the
work of the Red Brigades, a self-
styled extreme left-wing guerrilla
group.
Earlier in the morning, a
firebomb was tossed into a bus park
ing lot at San Vittore Olona near
Milan, setting fire to seven of 69
buses parked for the night. It took
the fire brigade three hours to ex
tinguish the blaze. Officials esti
mated the damage at $90,000.
An anonymous telephone caller
reported a nonexistent fire in
another village in an apparent at
tempt to divert fire trucks from the
firebombing scene.
The attack came as 80,000 Italian
doctors began a three-day strike to
protest a proposed reform to replace
the existing maze of health insur
ance agencies with a public health
service. They claim it will turn them
into bureaucrats.
The strike will affect hospitals,
clinics and health insurance com
panies. The doctors have said they
will treat emergency cases. Hospital
nurses and orderlies have refused to
join the walkout.
Italy’s latest wave of violence ap
peared to be timed to coincide with
the Milan trial of self-proclaimed
Red Brigades’ leader Renato Cur-
eio.
His trial, on charges of attempted
murder and illegal arms possession,
began last week in a courtroom
guarded by police with dogs and
armored cars. All court visitors un-
