Diana letter spurs Al-Fayed to renew demand for crash probe

MOHAMED al Fayed last night renewed his call for a public inquiry into the death of his son Dodi and Princess Diana.

Mr al Fayed’s move follows a new claim by Diana’s former butler, Paul Burrell, that the troubled princess wrote to him alleging a plot to tamper with the brakes of her car and cause a crash.

Mr al Fayed, millionaire owner of Harrods department store, issued a lengthy statement saying Mr Burrell’s revelation confirmed his suspicions that Diana had been murdered.
