Om K ----- AL-FAYED REACTS TO DIANA SECRET PAPERS REPORT Wants Paris Crash Judge to Investigate US Spy Documents Dec. 13, 1998 By Hoag Levins NEW YORK (APB) -- The judge overseeing the investigation of the crash that killed the Princess of Wales was asked to expand the probe to include a review of the secret Diana documents held by U.S. spy agencies, according to European press reports. Photo:AP Mohamed Al Fayed, in Paris, met with Judge Herve Stephan.Late Friday, Agence France-Presse, the French news service, reported that Mohamed al-Fayed, father of Dodi al-Fayed who also died in the Aug. 31, 1997, crash, had an 80-minute meeting with Judge Herve Stephan, the Paris magistrate in charge of the case. The elder al-Fayed is reported to have provided the judge with a sheaf of press clippings about the American secret service Diana papers and demanded that Paris investigators follow up to determine if those documents provide any new information relevant to the crash. Al-Fayed is said to have been particularly interested in knowing if U.S. secret service agents were monitoring the car carrying Diana and Dodi al-Fayed on the night the pair died. 1,056 pages of Diana data In the Nov. 30 story that first revealed the existence of the secret Diana papers, APB News reported that "the files include 1,056 pages held by the National Security Agency, Central Intelligence Agency, State Department, Defense Intelligence Agency" and other offices. By last week, APB's story had been picked up by newspapers and news services around the world. Reaction was particularly colorful along London's Fleet Related Stories: U.S. SPY AGENCY CONFIRMS SECRET PRINCESS DIANA PAPERS Street where The Mirror screamed: "CIA SPIES LISTENED TO DIANA'S LOVE SECRET; PHONE SNOOP EXPOSED." The London office of AAP, Australia's largest news service, headlined its story, "CIA BUGGED PRINCESS DIANA'S TELEPHONE CONVERSATIONS." Saturday's story in The Washington Post, "NSA ADMITS TO HOLDING SECRET INFORMATION ON PRINCESS DIANA," reported that an unnamed U.S. intelligence official confirmed that the files contain transcripts of the "intercepted conversations" of Lady Diana Spencer. It has been widely reported that an NSA program called "Echelon" uses sophisticated listening devices and computers to intercept telephone calls, faxes, e-mail and other types of communications around the world. Intense interest in spy connections The intense British press interest in the issue feeds, in part, on the echoes of a sensational story that swept the continent in October. Then, various London newspapers reported that an Austrian-American believed to be a former CIA agent was sent to prison for attempting to sell Mohamed al-Fayed "secret" CIA documents. Those papers purported to show that the divorced princess was pregnant and that British and U.S. secret services were involved in a plot to cause her death. Oswald Le Winter, who was arrested in a Vienna hotel in April, pleaded guilty to his part in the scheme that offered the bogus files to al-Fayed for $23 million. According to the Calgary Herald of Canada, Le Winter retired from the CIA in 1989. The Austrian court that sentenced Le Winter to a 2 1/2-year prison term determined that the documents were forgeries and the plot story was nonsense. Conspiracy theories Nevertheless, conspiracy aficionados across the Internet continue to spread and glory in rumors alleging that spy agencies in numerous countries were somehow involved in the princess's death. The Washington Post reported that the issue of U.S. electronic intelligence gathering throughout Europe is also an emotional one because of widespread public debate there about the NSA's interception of local phone and Internet traffic. In January, according to the newspaper, the European Parliament issued a report charging that "within Europe, all e-mail, telephone and fax communications are routinely intercepted by the United States National Security Agency." The newspaper article quoted Steven Aftergood, an intelligence expert at the Federation of American Scientists, who noted that the American press has paid little attention to the Echelon issue because the NSA is prohibited by law from intercepting communications within the borders of the United States.
