Saudi Arabia's outgoing ambassador to Britain, Prince Turki al-Faisal, complained how he was left "going round in circles" as he tried to warn British officials about Saudi dissidents in Britain.

"When you call somebody (in the government), he says it is the other guy (who deals with the issue)," he told the Times newspaper. "We have been in this runaround for the last two and a half years."

Turki's grievances centred on two dissidents -- Saad Faqih, accused by the United Sates in the 1998 bombing of the US embassy in Nairobi, and Mohammad al-Masari, who runs a jihadi website from his north London home.

Another former Saudi dissident is Omar Bakri Mohammed, a Syrian-born imam notorious for his hardline Islamist views. He left for Lebanon at the weekend, and there is growing speculation that the government might ban his return.

Bakri was quoted in the Evening Standard newspaper Wednesday as saying he expects to undergo a heart operation in November or December in London, paid for by Britain's free-care-for-all National Health Service.
