KAMPALA � President Museveni has described the capture of former Iraq dictator, Saddam Hussein, as a �positive development�. A presidential spokesperson, Mr Onapito Ekomoloit, told The Monitor by phone yesterday that Mr Museveni was �elated� by the capture of Saddam. �Definitely the world has scored in the fight against terrorism and Uganda welcomes the development,� Onapito said. �We hope that Saddam will be given a fair trial since he has been captured alive,� the spokesman said. Museveni was one of a few African leaders who supported the US-led invasion of Iraq in April. Later reports of Uganda sending troops to the Middle East country were disputed and Onapito said yesterday that Uganda had not sent any troops. �However, we must know that Uganda was not directly involved in the operation and we only offered moral support,� he said. Museveni was said to be in South Africa yesterday on a short visit. |
