LONDON — The former head of MI6 denied today that the British intelligence agency killed Diana, Princess of Wales, and her boyfriend, Dodi Fayed, in 1997.

Richard Dearlove, who was MI6's director of special operations at the time of Diana's death in Paris, told a coroner's inquest that MI6 didn't assassinate anyone between 1994 and 1999.

Assassination, he said, was contrary to government policy, and he was unaware of any such activity by the agency during his career.

He also denied that MI6 mounted any operations directed at her or Fayed, including surveillance or bugging, and took no particular interest in her campaign against land mines.

Dearlove also testified that an operation by rogue agents would have been "impossible."

Fayed's father, Mohamed Al Fayed, has accused MI6, the Secret Intelligence Service, of engineering the death of his son and the princess at the behest of Prince Philip, husband of Queen Elizabeth II.
