Kampala - Taban Amin, the eldest son of the late Ugandan dictator Idi Amin whom Kampala has accused of heading an armed rebel group, returned to the Ugandan capital this week for the first time since his father's 1979 outster, government officials said on Tuesday.

"I can confirm that Taban Amin returned yesterday (Monday)," Attorney General Francis Ayume said by telephone, declining to elaborate.

"My work was to convince him to come back and we are giving him security like any other Ugandan," said Colonel Erry Kayanja, director general of the Internal Security Organisation.

Amin had been living in the Ugandan embassy building in Kinshasa since 1998, the year Uganda sent troops into the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to back armed efforts to topple then DRC president Laurent Kabila.
