But Al Fayed's lawyer, Michael Mansfield, said the millionaire had already given his evidence to the official British police investigation, which last year concluded the crash that killed Diana, Dodi and their driver in 1997 was an accident. When Butler-Sloss (who is hearing the inquest as assistant deputy coroner for inner west London after the High Court ruled she couldn't sit as deputy royal coroner) was told she already had the evidence she was asking...

Diana and Dodi Fayed were killed in Paris when their driver, trying to escape the paparazzi who had followed them from the Ritz Hotel, crashed into a pillar in the Pont de l'Alma tunnel.

...appears to have been exploited by his Federal Bureau of Investigation interrogators in Gauntánamo. In a section headed "Final Chapter Golden Boy," Abbasi writes that the f.b.i. is studying tapes of Golden Boy, who he says wanted to "go back to Australia and rob and kill Jews," crash a plane into a building, and "go out with that last big adrenalin rush." He also says Hicks would pose a threat if released. "He once told me in Afghanistan that if he were to go into a building of Jews with an automatic weapon or as a suicide bomber...
