Excerpt:...The former MI6 officer also said he had been shown a strobe light by members of the SBS during his training in Poole, Dorset.

He was told that the equipment, which was portable, was intended for blinding enemy helicopter pilots as they tried to land at night.

Mr Tomlinson gave evidence on a video link from Marseilles.

advertisementHe was called as a witness to the inquest after he told a French magistrate that the Paris car crash which killed the Princess, Dodi Fayed and chauffeur Henri Paul on Aug 31, 1997, bore an “eerie similarity” to an MI6 plot.

He told the inquest that “A” was a “very ambitious and diligent” MI6 section sub-head, aged in his early 30s.

He is referred to as “Fish” in Lord Stevens’ police inquiry into the crash. Mr Tomlinson said “A” showed him the plan in his office on the 11th floor of Century House.

1. I forget....

...why would Britain's government want to kill Diana?

3. Because the "People's Princess" was dating, and possibly

pregnant by, an Arab. How would it look if Charle's ex married an Arab playboy?

In the old days she'd have spent the rest of her life in a convent. Or been beheaded.

You don't fuck around with the Royals.

4. I think her driver was drunk...and driving way too fast...

[RaleighNCDUer]

5. That IS the official line.

Keeps everybody's hands clean.

7. Yes

In the security video from inside the hotel, Henri Paul certainly was steady on his feet for someone who was supposed to be so terribly drunk. He is also shown squatting down to tie his shoe without losing his balance, something that can be difficult even for one who's sober.

2. This sounds too much like the "Vince Foster murder

set up to look like a suicide" deal.

[MissDeeds]

6. Interesting

Diana was a rebel and caused a great deal of consternation for the Royals. As I recall, there was even discussion in the British media about doing away with the monarchy. It was extremely fortuitous for the House of Windsor that she died when she did.

It seemed curious at the time that the white Fiat that bumped her car could not be located. That is beyond improbable.

8. Probably because it was in a compactor within 24 hours.

Just guessing.
