Diana ‘Was Killed Over Plan to Expose UK Arms Dealers’

Princess Diana’s ill-fated crash story is back on the Internet’s front burners.

More than 12 years after she died in a car crash in Paris, a leading defence lawyer has alleged that Princess Diana was murdered over her plan to expose UK’s arms dealers involved in selling land mines all over the world.

Lady Diana created high profile of land mine victims by joining an international cause to ban selling and use of such weapons of war.

Queen’s Counsel Michael Mansfield has claimed that the late Princess of Wales even intended publishing an “explosive” diary to unmask those most closely involved with British land -mine manufacturing and the country’s role in arms trade.

“Everyone remembers she raised the profile of the land mines. Everybody is aware that the British involvement in the arms trade, particularly land mines, is and was a huge vested interest.

“It seems to me she had planned various visits. She had already been to Angola and she was going to Cambodia. A large number of land mines had been manufactured by British.

“She claimed she had an explosive diary in which she was going to expose the people most closely involved in the British arms trade,” leading British tabloid the ‘Daily Express’ quoted Mansfield as saying.

The Princess of Wales had angered ministers when she called for an international ban on land mines just months before her death in 1997.

She spoke out during a high-profile visit to Angola to meet some of the tens of thousands of innocent victims of the lethal devices.

At the time, the British defence minister, Mr Earl Howe, had described her as a “loose cannon” and claimed that she was ill-informed on the issue.

Mansfield represented Mohammed Al-Fayed, the father of Princess Diana’s boyfriend Dodi who was killed alongside her, at the inquest into the couple’s deaths which returned only a verdict of unlawful killing.

A Spokesperson for Princes William and Harry said they had “no comment” on the latest allegations.

Princess Diana was killed in a car crash on August 31 1997 in road tunnel in Paris, France.

Her ill-fated companion, Dodi Fayed, and the driver of the Mercedes-Benz W140, Henri Paul, were also pronounced dead at the scene of the accident. Fayed’s bodyguard, Trevor Rees-Jones, was the only survivor.

An eighteen-month French judicial investigation concluded in 1999 that Diana’s death was caused by Paul, who lost control of the car at high speed while intoxicated and under the influence of antidepressants.
