After Tanzanian troops and Ugandan rebels ended the bloody regime of Idi Amin Dada in Uganda ten years ago, the deposed dictator retreated into quiet exile in Saudi Arabia. But last week he stepped off an Air Zaire jet in Kinshasa and tried to enter the country under a false passport. Zaire officials are expected to put their unwelcome visitor on the next plane back to Saudi Arabia.
