SAS Man Who Claims That Diana Was Murdered 'Flees to Thailand in Fear for His Life'

MAIL ONLINE: Unidentified Soldier N has said SAS were involved in Princess's death / He claims soldiers shone a light into the eyes of her driver, leading to the fatal car crash in 1997 / Police re-opened investigation into Diana's death in response / But now Soldier N has fled the country before he could be examined

An [sic] sniper who claims the SAS were involved in a plot to kill Princess Diana has reportedly fled to Thailand in fear of his life.

The anonymous soldier is said to be laying low in south-east Asia as police investigators probe claims that members of the Army helped cause the car crash that killed Diana in 1997.

It has been claimed that special forces agents shined a light into the eyes of Diana's driver, which led to him losing control of the car and hitting a pillar in a tunnel in Paris.

The sniper - known only as Soldier N - made the claims to police investigators, leading to the inquiry into the Princess's death being reopened.

But he fled the country before Scotland Yard could properly examine the evidence, which was handed over by the Royal Military Police, reported the Daily Star. Read on and comment » | Daily Mail Reporter | Thursday, September 26, 2013

Libya: Daring SAS Mission Rescues Britons and Others from Desert
THE GUARDIAN: RAF Hercules fly more than 150 oil workers to Malta – but up to 500 still stranded in compounds

More than 150 workers were dramatically rescued from the Libyan desert as two RAF Hercules aircraft – backed by the SAS – pulled off a high-risk evacuation of British and other citizens.

As world leaders united to demand that Muammar Gaddafi face the full consequences of what Barack Obama called the "brutalisation" of his people, the defence secretary, Liam Fox, confirmed that the rescue had been a success, so far.

It is believed that units of British special forces secured runways to allow the Hercules aircraft to land safely.

A statement from the Foreign Office said that the rescued workers had been met by consular officials and Red Cross staff when they landed in the Maltese capital, Valletta. "Once disembarked, the passengers will be given food and water and offered full consular assistance," a Foreign Office spokesman said. "This includes immigration processing and a medical. They will then be bussed to hotels, where they will stay overnight." >>> Toby Helm and Mark Townsend in London and Paul Harris in New York | Saturday, February 26, 2011

Police Trained by SAS to Prepare for Mumbai-style Attacks
THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: Police are being trained by the SAS and armed with more powerful weapons to prepare for a possible Mumbai-style terror attack in the UK.

Security chiefs are staging a series of counter-terrorism exercises with police sharpshooters training alongside special forces units, the BBC said.

The development follows the interception last month by British intelligence officials of a credible al-Qaeda-linked plot.

That would have reportedly been similar to the deadly commando-style raids in Mumbai, India, two years ago, which left 166 people dead and several hundred injured.

Cities in France and Germany were also targeted as part of the plot. >>> | Tuesday, October 26, 2010

SAS Training Soldiers from Libyan Regime that Provided Explosives to IRA Terrorists
TIMES ONLINE: Special forces have been training Libyan soldiers under a Government deal with Colonel Gaddafi, despite his regime having funded many of the IRA’s worst attacks.

SAS soldiers said there was a “weary rolling of the eyes” when they learnt that they would be passing on some of their skills to members of the Libyan infantry.

In the 1980s and 1990s Libya supplied the IRA with Semtex used in at least ten attacks, including the bombings of Harrods in 1983 and Warrington and the City of London ten years later. It was also used by the Real IRA at Omagh in 1998.

Libya also supplied machine guns and anti-aircraft missiles fired at British troops in Northern Ireland.

“The IRA was our greatest adversary. Now we are training their backers. There was a weary rolling of the eyes when we were told about this,” an SAS source told The Daily Telegraph.

“A small SAS training team have been doing it for the last six months as part of this cosy deal with the Libyans,” said another.

A Foreign and Commonwealth Office spokesman said: “We have an ongoing co-operation with Libya in the field of defence”.

This had been the case since the former rogue state announced in 2003 that it would abandon development of weapons of mass destruction. The Ministry of Defence refused to comment. >>> Sadie Gray | Saturday, September 12, 2009

Now the SAS Has to Train Libyan Troops
MAIL ONLINE: The SAS is training Libyan troops, it emerged last night.

The elite special forces unit has been passing on its combat expertise to Colonel Gaddafi's soldiers for the last six months.

The move, another sign of the growing relationship between the UK and the oil-rich country, has appalled military veterans who recall how Libya supplied the Provisional IRA with guns and explosives to kill British soldiers.

Though the Ministry of Defence refused to comment, the Foreign Office confirmed last night: 'We have got an ongoing co-operation with Libya in the field of defence.'

The spokesman denied there was any connection with the release of Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset Al-Megrahi from a Scottish prison on compassionate grounds last month.

The first moves towards setting up the training agreement are believed to have begun after Tony Blair visited Libya as Prime Minister in 2004.

However, the deal was only finalised and officially approved by Gordon Brown earlier this year. It is believed that a team of between four and 14 men is training the Libyans in counter-terrorism techniques, including covert surveillance.

But not everything that the SAS has learned from fighting Islamic terrorism in Iraq and Afghanistan is expected to be passed on.

The agreement is bound to devastate families of the Lockerbie victims and further damage relations with America. >>> Ryan Kisiel and Claire Ellicott | Saturday, September 12, 2009
