Goodbye England's Rose..

ada org kata the driver mlm tu mabuk. The driver is not Diana's/Dodi's personal driver tapi pekerja Hotel Ritz. Tetapi bila disoal pada kakitangan kat hotel Ritz semua kata driver tu ada alcohol tolerance yg tinggi dan malam tu dia cuma minum 3 gelas shj, x mungkin dia mabuk.

Dlm CCTV ada menunjukkan yg dia mengimbangkan sebelah badan sewaktu mengikat kasut, yg mana dipertikaikan, kalau dia mabuk mungkin dia tak mampu nak buat sedemikian.

Dlm CCTV juga ada nampak dia melambai kepada paparazi memberi isyarat yg mereka akan keluar ikut pintu belakang sebelum dia bwk Diana.

Dia yg cadangkan dia bawak kereta dgn alasan byk paparazi kat luar. Kalau dia mabuk, dia mungkin tak boleh berfikir dgn waras lagi.

Fayed kata perisik British yg bunuh sebab Diana mengandung anak Dodi. Queen tak mahu bakal raja England (William) ada adik tiri Muslim dan beribukan Diana yg akan masuk Islam. Sebab tu dia dibunuh.

Paparazi kebanyakan nya semua x mahu hadir ke mahkamah memberi keterangan, seperti di halang. Dan mlm itu terdapat beberapa saksi yg semua nya tidak mahu tampil kehadapan. Reason tak tahu.

So pelik gak kan.

Inquest jury near deliberations on death of Princess Diana and her lover


LONDON (AP) - Flashing lights, swarming paparazzi, a mysterious Fiat Uno, a swiftly aborted proposal to assassinate a Balkan leader - what will jurors make of it all in reaching a judgment on the deaths of Princess Diana and her lover Dodi Fayed?

Testimony has ranged far and wide in an extraordinary coroner's inquest, without shedding much light on claims that they were victims of a plot directed by Prince Philip. The coroner, Lord Justice Scott Baker, is expected to begin his summation Monday, which may take several days before it goes to the jury.

The key question for the jurors is whether the car crash in a Paris road tunnel on Aug. 31, 1997, was an accident or something more sinister.

Mohamed Al Fayed has not budged from his belief that his son and the princess died at the hands of British security agents, acting at the prince's behest.

French police concluded that the couple died in an accident, caused in part by excessive speed and by the high blood-alcohol level of the driver, Henri Paul. A British police investigation reached the same conclusion.

More than 240 witnesses have given evidence since the inquest began on Oct. 2. Al Fayed's late bid to force the coroner to summon Prince Philip to testify, and for written questions to be put to Queen Elizabeth II, was summarily rejected by a higher court.

The inquest was in part an exploration of how the couple's speeding Mercedes came to slam into a concrete pillar, after apparently having a glancing collision with a white Fiat Uno; and in part an examination of Al Fayed's belief that he knew who drove the Uno, who employed him and why.

Diana's close friends, Prince Philip's private secretary, a former head of the Secret Intelligence Service and Diana's former butler, Paul Burrell, are among those who have been in the witness box.

There has been evidence that Diana feared dying in a car crash, but also had speculated about death in a helicopter or airplane crash; there was testimony that she feared Prince Philip, her former father-in-law.

The basic scene is familiar: the couple's car crashed as they were pursued from the Ritz Hotel by a pack of paparazzi photographers.

Some witnesses near the Alma tunnel said they saw flashes of light in the instant before the crash, other witnesses didn't notice any. Al Fayed's claim is that flashing lights disoriented the driver and sent the couple's car skidding into a crash.

But there was precious little evidence to back up Al Fayed's claims that his son and Diana were engaged, that she was pregnant and that Philip was at the head of a murder plot.

As the inquest progressed, some distance opened between Fayed and the lawyers working for him.

Michael Mansfield, Al Fayed's main advocate, steered away from accusing Philip or of claiming that MI6 assassinated the couple. He did suggest that rogue agents might have been involved.

"Mr. Al Fayed ... has certain beliefs which he has made clear. He is plainly not a member of MI6 or, certainly, the establishment either,'' Mansfield told the coroner on Feb. 20.

"He has certain beliefs and I have never at any stage withdrawn any of his beliefs but you will see I have focused very carefully on elements of what he is suggesting that may be true; in other words, for which there is, forensically, evidence to support his beliefs.''

Mansfield has suggested that Diana's campaign against land mines was the motive for the conspiracy, and that elements of the government and the arms industry were frightened that Diana was assembling a dossier about land mines; a dossier, he said, that was "capable of exposing historically British involvement in Angola because of who manufactured the weaponry, how it was got in there.''

Al Fayed believes the "establishment'' simply didn't want Diana to marry his son. When he testified on Feb. 18, Al Fayed affirmed his belief that the conspirators included Prince Philip; Prince Charles; former Prime Minister Tony Blair; Diana's sister, Sarah McCorquodale; her brother-in-law Robert Fellowes; two former chiefs of London police; driver Henri Paul; the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency; Diana's attorney, the late Lord Mishcon; two French toxicologists; Britain's ambassador to France; members of the French medical service; and three bodyguards he once employed.

Al Fayed has claimed that Diana's brother-in-law, Fellowes, was in Paris on the night of the crash sending messages to agents back in Britain. But none of Al Fayed's lawyers put that allegation to Fellowes when he testified.

Al Fayed was the only witness to claim that he knew that Diana was engaged to marry Dodi Fayed. He was told of the engagement, Al Fayed said, in a telephone call hours before the crash.

Likewise, Al Fayed was the only witness to definitely assert that Diana was pregnant.

The pathologist who examined her body said he saw no evidence, her former lover Hasnat Khan said Diana was conscientious about taking her birth control pills, and staff aboard Al Fayed's yacht, Jonikal, said they found opened contraceptive packages in her cabin.

Former MI6 agent Richard Tomlinson, who disclosed that a colleague had once proposed assassinating a Serb leader, has also claimed that flashing lights were part of the plan. When he testified, however, Tomlinson acknowledged that he was wrong in claiming the proposal was aimed at former Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic, and probably wrong about the lights too.

Richard Dearlove, a former head of MI6, testified that the assassination proposal was swiftly dismissed.

Al Fayed said he had been thwarted in attempts to prove his theory. "How can you want me to get the proof?'' Al Fayed said. "I am facing a steel wall of the security service, Official Secrets Act.''

The coroner asked Al Fayed if he could possibly be wrong.

"No way, 100 percent,'' Al Fayed said. "I am certain. I am the father who lost his son. And I know exactly the situations. I know exactly the facts.''-AP

Judge says no evidence royals plotted to kill Diana

LONDON (Reuters) - The coroner at the inquest into the death of Britain's Princess Diana in a car crash said on Monday there was no evidence that Queen Elizabeth's husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, had "ordered Diana's execution".

Diana died in a car crash in Paris in 1997 along with Dodi al-Fayed, whose father Mohamed al-Fayed has accused Prince Philip, Diana's father-in-law, of being behind her death.

But after almost six months listening to more than 250 witnesses, Lord Justice Scott Baker told the jury in his summing up: "There is no evidence that the Duke of Edinburgh ordered Diana's execution and there is no evidence that the security intelligence service or any other government agency organised it."

The inquest was delayed for 10 years because Britain had to wait for the French legal process and then a British police investigation to run their course before it could begin.

Both police inquiries decided it was a tragic accident because chauffeur Henri Paul was drunk and driving too fast.

The judge said he had decided not to call Prince Philip as a witness because the evidence "provided no basis whatsoever in suggesting that he was involved in killing his daughter-in-law."

Fayed has repeatedly alleged that Dodi and Diana were killed by British security services on the orders of Prince Philip because the royal family did not want the mother of the future king having a child with his son.

POSSIBLE VERDICTS

Scott Baker set out the possible verdicts the jury could reach, but stressed: "It is not open to you to find that Diana and Dodi were unlawfully killed in a staged accident."

He said possible verdicts included unlawful killing through gross negligence either by Henri Paul, by the paparazzi pursuing the princess' car, or by both.

Other possibilities were accidental death, or an open verdict if the 11-member jury felt there was insufficient evidence to support any substantive verdict.

"Whatever you may think about motives or alleged hostility to Diana, they cannot be used to prove that something untoward happened that night in Paris," the judge said.

Scott Baker told the jury that certain witnesses at the inquest had not told the truth.

"One of the regrettable features of this case is the number of people who have told lies in the witness box or elsewhere," he said. He specifically named Diana's butler Paul Burrell, whose three days of testimony was described by lawyers as being "all over the place".

Fayed had told the court that Dodi and Diana rang him up just one hour before the fatal crash to say they were engaged and she was pregnant.

"The issue fairly and squarely raises Mohamed al-Fayed's credibility. Is he a man on whose word you can rely?," Scott Baker said. "His beliefs may be genuine... but there is no doubt that many of them have no support in evidence at all," he added.

Judge says Diana's butler "did not tell the truth"
By Paul Majendie

LONDON (Reuters) - Princess Diana's butler Paul Burrell did not tell the truth at the inquest into her death, the presiding judge told a jury in London on Tuesday.

"All in all, you may think Burrell's behaviour has been pretty shabby," Lord Justice Scott Baker told the jury as he concluded the official inquiry into the death of Diana and her lover Dodi al-Fayed in a Paris car crash in 1997.

The court received a last-minute e-mail from France referring to a possible sample from chauffeur Henri Paul, who died at the wheel of the speeding Mercedes.

Scott Baker sent the jury away while the e-mail was translated, but told them: "Whether this contains anything that is new seems very doubtful."

British and French police inquiries have both decided it was a tragic accident because Paul was drunk and driving too fast when their car crashed in a Paris road tunnel while they were being pursued by paparazzi.

Burrell, the butler who called himself "Diana's Rock", faced a three-day grilling from lawyers when he appeared at the inquest in January to be repeatedly asked how much he really knew about secrets he was supposed to have held for Diana.

In February, Scott Baker asked Burrell to return to court to explain discrepancies between his evidence and comments attributed to him in a tabloid newspaper, but he refused.

"It was blindingly obvious wasn't it, that the evidence that he gave in this courtroom was not the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth," Scott Baker said on Tuesday.

In a scathing reference to Burrell's emotionally charged testimony, he told the jury: "I advise you to proceed with caution especially when and if you are left with the impression that he only told you what he wanted you to hear."

The coroner was summing up to the jury after they had heard from more than 250 witnesses over the past six months in an inquest that has attracted worldwide media attention.

On Monday, the opening day of his presentation to the jury, the judge dismissed conspiracy theories of Mohamed al-Fayed, father of Dodi.

Harrods owner Fayed had claimed Diana and Dodi were killed by British security services on the orders of Prince Philip, because the royal family did not want the mother of the future king to have a child with Fayed's son.

The 11-member jury, due to be sent out on Wednesday to consider their decision, have five verdicts to choose from.

They can opt for unlawful killing through gross negligence by the chauffeur, by "following vehicles" or by both.

The other two alternatives are accidental death or an open verdict if the jury felt there was not enough evidence to support any substantive verdict.

Bapa Dodi enggan mengalah - Walaupun inkues tolak konspirasi punca Diana terbunuh



MOHAMMED Al-FAYED

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


AKHBAR-akhbar di Britain semalam menarik nafas lega selepas siasatan terbaru kes kematian Puteri Diana berakhir dan mendesak supaya puteri kesayangan rakyat berkenaan dibiarkan bersemadi dengan aman.

Barisan 11 juri inkues menyiasat kematian puteri itu kelmarin menolak kematian Diana berpunca daripada pembunuhan.

Juri itu menyalahkan beberapa paparazzi yang mengejar kereta yang dinaiki puteri tersebut dengan kekasihnya, Dodi Al-Fayed sebagai punca pemandu Diana.

Para juri itu juga menyatakan tindakan paparazzi itu menyebabkan pemandu kereta Diana dan kekasihnya, Dodi, Henri Paul memandu dengan laju.

Juri juga menaikkan fakta bahawa Diana dan kekasihnya, Dodi tidak memakai tali pinggang keselamatan sekali gus menyumbang kepada kematian mereka.

Akhbar The Guardian dalam lidah pengarangnya menyatakan bahawa juri telah mengeluarkan keputusan yang boleh diterima rakyat berdasarkan bukti yang diperoleh.

"Tiada konspirasi membabitkan Putera Philip, agensi perisikan MI6, agensi perisikan Israel, Mossad atau makhluk asing dari planet marikh.

"Sudah cukup apa yang berlaku dan biarkanlah ia berlalu," katanya.

"Inkues yang menelan kos tinggi ini ditampung oleh wang daripada pembayar cukai dan ia juga sering mencetuskan sesuatu yang memualkan oleh mereka yang mahu mengejar publisiti.

"Siasatan ini juga mempersendakan apa yang sepatutnya menjadi satu prosedur biasa dan syukurlah ia telah berakhir serta tiada lagi kes seperti ini," ujarnya.

Sepanjang enam bulan siasatan yang dilakukan oleh Mahkamah Tinggi London, bapa Dodi, Mohamed Al-Fayed menuduh Diana dan anaknya Dodi, dibunuh oleh satu komplot yang didalangi oleh suami Ratu Elizabeth II, Putera Philip bagi mengelakkannya berkahwin dengan seorang muslim.

Pemilik gedung membeli belah Harrods itu berkata, dia sangat kecewa dengan keputusan itu dan tetap menegaskan bahawa kematian anaknya itu merupakan satu pembunuhan.

"Bukan saya seorang sahaja yang berpendapat mereka dibunuh. Diana juga meramalkan bahawa ada individu mahu membunuhnya," katanya.

Al-Fayed masih tidak mengalah dan kini sedang mencari ruang undang-undang untuk meneruskan tuduhan konspirasi terhadap kematian anaknya dan Diana.

Bagaimanapun, dua anak lelaki Diana, Putera William dan Putera Harry dalam satu kenyataan memberitahu bahawa mereka menerima keputusan mahkamah itu dengan hati terbuka.

"Kami bersetuju dengan keputusan itu. Kami juga mengucapkan terima kasih kepada barisan juri atas kesabaran mereka sepanjang enam bulan ini," katanya.

Namun, beberapa akhbar lagi mendesak Al-Fayed menggugurkan tuduhannya dan menerima keputusan inkues berkenaan.

"Semua pihak memahami situasi Al-Fayed yang berada dalam keadaan kurang stabil selepas kehilangan anaknya," kata ruangan lidah pengarang akhbar The Daily Telegraph.

"Bagaimanapun, usaha Al-Fayed untuk mencemarkan nama baik keluarga diraja, agensi keselamatan dan perisikan, pihak polis, sistem perundangan serta sesiapa sahaja yang tidak sependapat dengannya mengakibatkan kebanyakan orang hilang perasaan simpati.

"Kini, Al-Fayed tiada tempat untuk pergi dan dia mesti berhenti sekarang serta membiarkan dua pasangan itu bersemadi dengan aman," katanya.

Akhbar The Times pula mendesak usahawan dari Mesir itu mengakui bahawa tuduhannya terhadap keluarga diraja dan agensi perisikan Britain, MI6 adalah tidak berasas.

"Tragedi dan perasaan tidak percaya menyebabkan proses perbicaraan ini dilakukan tetapi ia ditafsirkan oleh undang-undang.

"Kini semua mesti menerima keputusan mahkamah," katanya.

Akhbar Daily Mail pula mempersoalkan sama ada siasatan kematian Diana dan Dodi itu memperoleh sesuatu yang berguna.

"Semua orang mesti mengakui bahawa teori konspirasi yang paling liar pernah disiarkan di mahkamah Britain itu adalah sesuatu yang tidak berasas," katanya.

Lidah pengarang The Independent pula berharap keputusan mahkamah itu mengakhiri beberapa drama yang mengiringi perbicaraan itu.

"Selepas enam bulan, 250 pengakuan bersumpah dan banyak wang rakyat yang dihabiskan sukar untuk tidak menarik nafas lega bahawa ia sudah berakhir," katanya. - Agensi
