VIDEO GRAB OF 1971 FILE FOOTAGE OF FORMER UGANDAN DICTATOR IDI AMIN, 2003-08-16 (photo)

A video still image of 1971 television footage shows former Ugandan dictator Idi Amin being sworn in. Amin, blamed for the murder of tens of thousands of Ugandans in the 1970s, died on August 16, 2003 in a Saudi hospital where he had been critically ill for weeks, a senior medical source said. "We can confirm that Mr Idi Amin has died from complications due to multiple organ failure," the source at King Faisal Specialist Hospital in the Red Sea city of Jeddah. Amin, one of the bloodiest despots in Africa, has been living in exile, chiefly in Saudi Arabia, since being ousted from Uganda in 1979. He was in his late 70s. REUTERS TV PP03080050 AN/JDP
