I Saw Fiat Driver Kill Di http://www.usaweeklynews.com/Princess_Dianna1.html Sunday People Sunday People
A NEW witness to Princess Diana's death smash has come forward - and says her limo WAS forced to crash by a white Fiat.
Moroccan beauty Souad Mouffakir, 33, kept silent for six years about what she saw because she feared she would be killed.
But
last week she gave her startling evidence to The People after her
husband Mohamed Medjahdi - who was driving in front of Diana's black
Mercedes in a Paris underpass - claimed there was NO mystery Fiat.
Souad said:
I saw through the back window a Fiat Uno driving
very fast up to us in the outside lane. But rather than hurtle past, it
slowed down so we were side by side.
It was very strange
behaviour and I got frightened. The white car was only centimetres from
ours. I stared over to the driver and I will never forget him.
He had a very strange expression like his mind was thinking about something else. His whole manner was odd. It troubled me.
He
was Mediterranean, short because his head was only just above the
steering wheel. His skin was tanned and his hair was very dark brown
and wiry.
He was in his mid-thirties. In the back seat was a
huge alsatian. I became very scared, I thought he was a madman and I
told Mohamed to speed away. We did that and a moment later we heard the
screech of tyres.
I looked round and saw a black Mercedes
sliding out of control at 45 degrees, coming straight at us. I saw the
car impact into the pillar. I did not realise that I had just seen the
crash that killed Diana. I saw the chauffeur thrown forward into the
steering wheel. I knew he had been killed immediately.
I wake
thinking about it. The nightmares are terrible. I looked for the Fiat
but it had disappeared. The Mercedes must have gone out of control
trying to avoid it.
Souad contacted police next day and she and
Mohamed, 29, were quizzed but neither mentioned the Fiat because, she
says, they were too scared.
But Souad, who split with forklift
truck driver Mohamed three years ago, agreed to speak to The People
after he claimed in British and French newspapers last week that there
was NO Fiat.
At her home in a northern suburb of Paris, she said: "I have kept my silence for over six years but I am sick Mohamed lied.
"I
was convinced what I saw would lead me to being killed. But anyone who
tries to kill me now will have to come out of hiding to do it.
"I
am furious Mohamed did not tell the whole truth. Diana was a beautiful
woman who did so much good. I owe it to her and the people who loved
her."
Souad's dramatic claims were backed by two close friends.
Farida
Azzouz, 31, said: "Souad told me just after it happened that she had
seen a white Fiat but she hadn't told the police about it. She was
worried her life would be in danger."
Another friend, Bouchra
Zahdane, 24, said: "I can confirm they witnessed the crash but they
kept very quiet about the exact details of it."
Souad's evidence
will be keenly studied by British police who have been asked by Royal
coroner Dr Michael Burgess to investigate the deaths of Diana and her
lover Dodi Fayed.
The People has made no payment to Souad.
PRISON PLANET.com Newswire
Princess Diana Predicted Her Own Assassination Paul Joseph Watson
British
newspapers today broke the astounding story of how Princess Diana wrote
that she would be killed in an incident made to look like a car
accident ten months before her death. The princess predicted:
“This particular phase in my life is the most dangerous.” She said
"XXXXXXXXXXX is planning ‘an accident’ in my car, brake failure and
serious head injury in order to make the path clear for Charles to
marry”. The blanked out 'xxxxxxx' is very likely to be MI5/MI6, who also recently did the dirty work of finishing off David Kelly. When
Paul Burrell, Diana's former butler first hit the headlines last year I
knew he still had something to say about Diana's death. It was likely
that Burrell sought to wrap himself in as much publicity as possible to
protect himself against a similar fate.
Of course we've known for years that Diana's death couldn't have been anything but an assassination.
-
The unscheduled journey through the symbolic Pont de L'Alma tunnel (an
ancient Pagan sacrificial site) took Diana and her boyfriend Dodi Al
Fayed AWAY FROM their intended destination, Dodi's flat.
- Just
before the car entered the tunnel every police radio in Paris
mysteriously died, preventing a quick response which could have saved
Diana's life. - Just before the car entered the tunnel every
security camera in the tunnel mysteriously died, preventing us from
ever seeing footage of what caused the crash. - Eyewitnesses reported snipers and gunfire within the tunnel. These are just a few snippets from a mountain of evidence that this was an old-school hit. Diana
was killed because she was pregnant with Dodi's child and the British
Royal Family didn't want an Arab in their sacred bloodline. Diana
herself remarked to reporters that there would be 'a big surprise' from
her a few days before her death.

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.
--------------------------------
Of
course, this wasn't the only reason. Diana was a painful thorn in the
side of the elitists with her ability to take any issue and immediately
bring it to the forefront of public attention. In a way she was like
David Kelly, a disgruntled former employee who knew too much and had
too big a chip on her shoulders to be tolerated.
I look forward
to the long-awaited inquest and further revelations from the brave Paul
Burrell to further destroy the establishment media's wild and
unsusbstantiated theory that Diana's death was an accident caused by a
drunk driver.
Keep your eyes open and turn the television off. Paul Joseph Watson.
Diana murder plot name in letter revealed to be Prince Charles
London Mirror
PRINCESS
Diana believed Prince Charles wanted her killed in an accident when she
was plagued by anxiety and feared for her safety.
She told of
her worries in her now infamous note which she handed to butler Paul
Burrell as "insurance" on the day she wrote it in October 1996, 10
months before she died in a Paris car crash.
Burrell censored
the note when he disclosed its existence in his book last year by
blanking the words "my husband" from the text.
The full text,
revealed for the first time, now reads: "This particular phase of my
life is the most dangerous - my husband is planning 'an accident' in my
car, brake failure & serious head injury in order to make the path
clear for him to marry."
The Daily Mirror - not Burrell - has decided to publish the blanked out name because it will inevitably appear in the public domain.
Burrell
is prepared to hand the note to the coroner probing the deaths of Diana
and boyfriend Dodi Al Fayed whose inquests open today.
By bringing the text to light he is honouring a long-standing promise to co-operate fully with the inquiries.
Speaking
at his home in Farndon, Cheshire, Burrell - known by Diana as her
"rock" - said yesterday: "This matter has to be handled with great
sensitivity and I have genuine concerns about that.
"I reproduced only a portion of that letter in my book to provide further force to the argument that an inquest must be held.
"To that end, the document has fulfilled its main purpose.
"I'll
do what I've always said I'll do, and provide the coroner with every
possible assistance where the information I know is relevant to his
investigations."
Royal coroner Michael Burgess has already written to Burrell asking for the document to be handed over for examination.
The former butler is happy for Mr Burgess to see the entire contents.
He
is due to meet his lawyers this week and will then be questioned about
the correspondence. No decision over whether the letter will be
regarded as evidence will be made until the coroner has viewed its
contents.
A source said: "Mr Burgess will take nothing on face
value, and he'll question Mr Burrell very closely over its contents and
how it came to be in his possession. It will be a matter handled with
great sensitivity and care."
Mr Burgess has yet to decide what
witnesses and evidence will be deemed admissable at the full inquests.
But Burrell is widely expected to be a key witness.
The
sensational development once again puts Charles's relationship with his
companion Camilla Parker Bowles in the spotlight. It again focuses
attention on Diana's anxieties over her ex-husband in the year before
her death.
It also renews attention on the conspiracy theories swirling round Diana's death in the Pont d'Alma tunnel in Paris.
These theories were fuelled by the haunting similarities between her own prediction and the 1997 crash.
Speculation
raged over the the blanked-out name in the letter published in
Burrell's book, A Royal Duty, which was exclusively serialised in the
Mirror. At the time, the passage appeared as: "********* is planning
'an accident' in my car... in order to make the path clear for Charles
to marry."
Burrell had instructed his publishers Penguin to replace the word "him" with "Charles" to protect the prince's interests.
He
said in his book: "I will never say what those blacked-out words say...
deciding what to do with it (the letter) has been a source of much
soul-searching.
"I agree that it may be futile in what it
achieves because it can do no more than provide yet another question
mark. But if that question mark leads to an inquest... it will have
achieved something." Burrell has revealed that at the time the
letter was written Diana was plagued by insecurities and even believed
her Kensington Palace apartments were bugged. Her marriage had
ended only two months before. Though she had negotiated an estimated
£17million settlement, the princess was devastated at losing her HRH
title. Charles had admitted conducting an affair with Camilla, saying
he committed adultery only after his marriage became "irretrievably
broken down, us both having tried". Today, Camilla is the
prince's accepted companion. She lives with him at his London home,
Clarence House, and his Gloucestershire home, Highgrove. She has also
accompanied him on semi-official engagements. Diana's friends
have always said that in the months leading up to her death she had
resolved her differences with Charles and was looking forward to them
becoming friends. Burrell said in the Mirror the letter provided
"evidence of the state of the princess's mind in the final months of
her life". He admitted it increased huge public interest which was "crying out for a full examination of the facts". Mr
Burgess announced that an inquest would be opened into Diana's death
two months after Burrell's sensational book was published. The
hearing will open at the Queen Elizabeth II conference centre, in
Westminster, Central London. An inquest on Dodi, who lived at Oxted,
Surrey, will open in the afternoon at Reigate. Mr Burgess is expected
to announce the scope of his hearings and the course his investigation
will take before full inquests are held later in the year. The
coroner will first have to digest a 6,000-page police report and secret
evidence from the French inquiry into the princess's death held by
judge Herve Stephan. First evidence is not likely to be heard before
the autumn. Diana, 36, and Dodi died in the early hours of
August 31, 1997, when a Mercedes driven by chauffeur Henri Paul
careered out of control and smashed into a concrete pillar. The 1999
French inquiry said the crash was an accident caused by chauffeur Paul
being high on drink and drugs. Dodi's father, Harrods owner
Mohamed Al Fayed, believes his son and the princess were murdered, and
has spent thousands of pounds pursuing his own investigations. Diana's
family do not believe the theories. Her mother, Frances Shand Kydd,
accepted the French inquiry findings "without reservation".

Lord Black of Crossharbour Conrad Black, the former press baron jailed for 15 years for fraud, makes the front pages of most papers. His rise and fall is summed up in the Independent ...
Black found guilty of criminal fraud Fri Jul 13,CHICAGO (Reuters) - A U.S. jury on Friday found Conrad Black guilty of criminal fraud and obstruction of justice in a grim Friday the 13th verdict that could send the former media baron to jail for up to 35 years.
Conrad M. Black [was] Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Operating Officer ofHollinger International Inc.. He is a member of the Board of Directors for the Nixon Center. He is known politically for his staunch criticism of the Liberal Party of Canada. The issue of whether Black could accept a title in Britain was the most notable battle between Black and Canadian Prime MinisterJean Chretien - Canadian citizens cannot accept such titles without giving up citizenship and Chretien would not make exceptions. The National which had been launched by Black was not financially successful, and was sold to the CanWest chain then owned by Israel Asper.
Maude Barlow, the chair of the Council of Canadians [QUERY: still current?]is cited by Leiterman stating Black is known to "routinely intervene in editorial policy-making". [1] Leiterman also cites Radler, Hollinger's president, as telling Maclean's (2/3/92): "If editors disagree with us they should disagree with us when they're no longer in our employ. The buck stops with ownership. I am responsible for meeting the payroll; therefore I will ultimately determine what the papers say and how they're going to be run." [2] Hollinger also owns the Jerusalem Post. In September 2003 that newspaper advocated killingYasser Arafat. This was quickly raised by the Israeli Cabinet, but described by Colin L. Powell, Condoleeza Riceas "unhelpful" and by The Economist as "wrong".
Israel has no law against foreign press ownership.
