New terror attack on Saudi 'probable'

Britain’s ambassador to Saudi Arabia warned today that another terrorist attack in the kingdom was “probable”.

Sherard Cowper-Coles also confirmed that diplomats were trying to establish if a second Briton died in the siege at the weekend in the oil-rich city of Khobar. Oil executive Michael Hamilton was shot dead at the start of the 24-hour hostage-taking incident that left at least 22 people dead.
