DAR ES SALAAM, Tanzania--Ugandan President Idi Amin claimed yesterday he has annexed a 710-square-mile strip of Tanzanian tereitory along the western shore of Lake Victoria. The announcement came amid reports of fierce fighting between troops of the two East African nations.
A Radio Uganda broadcast quoted a military spokesman as saying the annexation was accomplished with "supersonic speed," and was in retaliation for Tanzania's alleged attack on Uganda last week.
The annexation announcement was Uganda's first official confirmation that its forces, which have both Soviet and British equipment, had invaded Tanzanian territory and that clashes were taking place with Tanzanian security forces.
