CONTROVERSIES AND TRAGEDIES. Cont'd.
Evidence
a. Recent revelations have
shown that there are rogue elements in the secret service who act as more or
less autonomous cells. Some of these have been revealed to have a pretty strange
view of what constitutes a threat to the state. For instance, they have files on
John Lennon, current British Home Secretary (Interior Minister) Jack Straw and
they once tried to destabilise the 1970s Labour government. It is not
inconceivable that the same agents who believed Lennon was capable of leading
revolution also believed Diana was capable of fomenting popular unrest.
b. MI6 is suspected of bugging
Diana throughout her years in the Royal limelight, and many believe they were
behind the leaking of the 'Squidgygate' phone tapping tapes which damaged her
image during the break up with Charles.
c. Bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones
was a former member of the crack Parachute Regiment, one of the most toughest in
the British army. He also completed two stints in Northern Ireland and served in
the Royal Military Police, just the kind of background that would have seen him
come into contact with members of the secret service. Theorists cite the fact
Rees-Jones survived the crash as evidence that he was in on the plot to snuff
out the Diana threat.
Likelihood:
3/10:
Few doubt that the nutters at MI6 are capable of anything but surely even they
would have had qualms about bumping off Diana, if only for the reason that her
death might bring on the very things they most fear, the drift toward a
republican state in the UK, as Charles loses still more popularity.
3. THEORY THREE: Target
Dodi
Plot
Business enemies of Dodi
and his father Mohammed Al Fayed assassinate Dodi, with the death of Di a
magnificent cover for their operation.
Evidence
Al Fayed has not got to the
top without making some serious enemies along the way. The owner of Harrods
fought a bitter battle for the top London store some years ago and has also been
denied British nationality after question marks were raised about his business
practise. His activities have included under the counter payments to
Conservative MPs. as his oldest son and heir, Dodi would be an obvious target
for anyone wanting to settle a score with Al Fayed.
Likelihood:
1/10.
With Di involved, the police operation is likely to be one of the biggest in
Paris history so any assassin would be taking one hell of a risk by cutting
the break cable, say, of Dodi's car. Then again, the day of the Jackal is a
Paris story.
