Amin terror joins history's infamy
I heard a curious noise outside the cell, as of an egg being broken.
They had just dragged away a man who'd lain on the floor. I did not know it then but other inmates of Idi Amin's military prison at Makindye told me later how the executioner used a sledgehammer.
"You were in the condemned cell," they explained. "They crack your skull."
It was just another barracks hut in Amin's Uganda, where three decades later his name, thankfully, belongs to history. His death on Saturday in Saudi Arabia, after almost a quarter century of exile, erases forever the possibility of any kind of comeback.
