British Agency Denies Role in Diana's Death

The former head of M16 denied Wednesday that the British intelligence agency was responsible for the car accident that killed Princess Diana and her boyfriend, Dodi al Fayed, in 1997. Sir Richard Dearlove, who was director of special operations for the agency at the time of Diana's Paris accident, testified at the inquest into the pair's death that he also believes an operation by rogue agents would have been impossible. Fayed's father, Mohamed Al Fayed, has accused M16 of engineering the death of his son and the princess at the behest of Prince Philip, Queen Elizabeth II's husband.
