Amin son plans rebellion from Congo -brigadier

NAIROBI, Aug. 16 — A son of former Ugandan dictator Idi Amin based in Congo is plotting a rebellion in his late father's home region in the latest of many attempts to topple the Kampala government, a Ugandan army officer said on Saturday.

Brigadier Kale Kayihura, a military adviser to President Yoweri Museveni, said Taban Amin was recruiting fighters in an area near the junction of the borders of Uganda, Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

''Their ambition is to try to topple the government. It's a dream they keep dreaming,'' he told Reuters from northern Uganda after the announcement of Idi Amin's death in a Saudi hospital.
