Americans were bugging Diana's conversations?

The most sensational revelation in Lord Stevens' report on the deaths of Diana, Princess of Wales, and Dodi Fayed, which is due on Thursday, is that Americans were bugging Diana's conversations ostensibly without the approval of the British security agencies.

 

The US security agents were even listening to her calls in the hours just before both she and Dodi were in a car crash in Paris in 1997. Dodi's father, Harrods owner Mohammad Al-Fayed who has been orchestrating conspiracy theories for the crash may well take this finding as a vindication of his belief that intelligence conspired to get Diana killed.

 

The American agencies have assured Lord Stevens that the 39 classified documents detailing Diana's final talks did not reveal anything sinister or contain material that might help explain her death. But significantly they have not given any reason for the bugging. Norman Baker, Liberal Democrat MP for Lewes, was reported saying, "There have been rumours that Princess Diana was being bugged by the Americans, so I am not entirely surprised. But it is a major constitutional issue. The question is whether the Americans were doing it themselves or the British government had outsourced it to the Americans to achieve deniability."

 

The Scotland Yard inquiry also bares the fact that the driver Henri Paul of Mercedes in which Diana and Dodi were travelling was on the payroll of the French intelligence. Stevens found that Paul had £100,000 (Rs 8.5 million) stashed in 14 French banks. The report is expected to also confirm that employees of the Ritz in Paris, where Diana and Dodi were staying before the crash, had passed on information to French intelligence services.

 

However, Lord Stevens firmly rejects claims of British intelligence involvement. A senior police source played down the significance of links between the hotel and French secret agents. "I'm sure that the intelligence services have informants in the Ritz in London."

 

Lord Stevens has not found any evidence to support Al-Fayed's belief that Diana was pregnant. He has also reportedly concluded that there was no murder arranged by British intelligence, no establishment cover-up and nothing to sustain the numerous conspiracy theories that have been proliferating in the nine years since their fatal accident. He has, instead, concluded that Diana died in a road traffic accident after her driver, who was drunk at the wheel, lost control of the car.

 

The report will be given to Prince Charles and Al-Fayed on Wednesday, a day before its publication. Palace sources said Charles would explain the report to his two sons personally.

Spies paid Paul £2,000 before Diana crash

10/12/06

EXCLUSIVE

By Camilla Tominey

 

CHAUFFEUR Henri Paul was receiving cash handouts from spymasters on the night he died, the Sunday Express can reveal.

 

Until now, Paul’s whereabouts in the hours leading up to the Paris car crash that killed Princess Diana and her lover Dodi Fayed have not been known.

 

Now it is thought he spent between 7pm and 10pm meeting a handler from France’s equivalent of MI5, the DST (Direction de la Surveillance du Territoire).

 

French sources claim that Paul was paid £2,000 for information – and that he was over the drink-drive limit because he had been celebrating his windfall.

 

He ended up driving Diana after the Fayeds changed the car and route at the eleventh hour, choosing the road through the Pont D’Alma tunnel, an accident blackspot.

 

Lord Stevens’s interim report on the events of August 31, 1997, to be published on Thursday, is expected to debunk claims Paul had links to British intelligence, following interviews with MI6 head John Scarlett and MI5 director-general Eliza Manningham-Buller.

 

But there is now little doubt that Paul was in regular contact not only with the DST but also the French equivalent of MI6, the DGSE (Direction Générale de la Sécurité Extérieure).

 

According to French sources, new files on Paul have been unearthed at the Paris Criminal Brigade, revealing that he had recently started dating a new Moroccan girlfriend and had a cellar full of alcohol.

 

After Paul’s death, French police discovered he ran secret accounts containing more than £100,000, in 14 banks across France. The source was traced but it is thought nothing sinister was found.

 

Lord Stevens’s report is expected to confirm the 1999 French conclusion on the case, which blamed Paul for the crash because he was three to four times over the drink-drive limit and driving too fast, trying to shake off the paparazzi.

 

Tonight a BBC2 documentary, The Conspiracy Files, will report that new DNA evidence has conclusively confirmed that blood samples from Paul’s body were definitely his.

 

Dodi’s father, Harrods owner Mohamed Al Fayed, has always claimed that the samples showing a high level of alcohol had been taken from another person in the morgue – possibly a suicide victim.

 

There were blunders by the French – police mixed up Dodi’s and Paul’s bodies at one stage.

 

Stevens’s overall finding is expected to be that Diana died in a “simple road traffic accident”.

 

But a recent survey found that three in 10 in the UK do not believe that. Mohamed Al Fayed has claimed that the Establishment killed Diana because it did not want her to marry a Muslim or carry his child.

 

That claim looks likely to be torn apart in the report.

 

Hospital doctors in France and her physician in Britain have confirmed she was not pregnant while interviews with friends and relatives appear to have convinced Stevens they were not engaged.

 

The main conclusion that is likely to be drawn is that if they had been wearing seatbelts, they would have survived.

US Spy Tapes Reveal Diana Was Pregnant

by GORDON THOMAS

 

EXPLOSIVE tapes on the secret life of Princess Diana will prove that she was pregnant and intended to marry Dodi Al Fayed, it was claimed last night.

 

American secret agents regularly monitored Diana's conversations and collated 1,000 secret documents using its "spy in the sky", the National Security Agency.

 

They were obtained by its Echelon satellite surveillance system and contain highly sensitive material including her marriage plans, her views on Prince Philip, who was known to be highly critical of her, and new details of her love affair with James Hewitt. Now, lawyers acting for Mohamed Al Fayed are trying to obtain the tapes through America's Freedom of Information Act.

 

They hope to present the evidence at Diana's inquest, which is expected to take place next year.

 

The covert monitoring was controlled from the ultra-secret NSA base at Menwith Hill in the north of England during the last weeks of Diana's affair with Dodi.

 

A spokesman for Dodi's father, Mohamed Al Fayed, the millionaire owner of Harrods, said: "Mr Al Fayed believes that those intercepts will reveal conversations in which Princess Diana discussed her engagement to Dodi and her pregnancy.
