Uganda will reopen Entebbe Airport today, the government radio reported. The international airfield, made famous in a 1976 Israeli hostage rescue, has been closed since a military coup July 20 that toppled President Milton Obote. In another matter, Prime Minister Paulo Muwanga was quoted in a broadcast as saying that he has met with representatives of former Defense Minister Yoweri Museveni’s Uganda National Resistance Army in an attempt to form a broad-based government. However, a rebel spokesman in Kenya denied that such a meeting had occurred.
