Amin Warns Britain No Interference Over Spy Case
Nairobi reports say a British born businessman Bob Scanlon faces execution by firing squad in Uganda on espionage charges. The Nation cited an anonymous Kampala tip claiming Scanlon may already be dead and his body burned, a claim Uganda denies. Radio Uganda said Seamon, a middle aged father of three, was arrested for spying and could be executed by week’s end if the military tribunal finds him guilty. Diplomatic sources suggest charges may relate to a smuggled communications system found by security forces. Scanlon’s prior work involved selling advanced radio equipment.
