Amin’s antagonistic streak poisons U S Uganda ties
The long running dispute between Idi Amin and the United States grows with accusations that Washington plotted his overthrow and with a string of incidents. Journalists disappeared in 1971, Israel relations soured in 1972, and Amin expelled Marines in 1973. He detained Peace Corps volunteers in 1973 and invited Kissinger to Makerere University. He continued to warn Carter about Zionists while courting other leaders and inviting Nixon as a guest.
