LONDON, June 14: Egyptian multi-millionaire Mohamed-al-Fayed today again defended his conspiracy theories about the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, and his son Dodi in last August’s Paris car crash.

In a Sunday Times article written by him under the heading `I’m not paranoid,’ the boss of Harrods department store also accused the British establishment of trying to make him a pariah.

Egyptian-born Al-Fayed made it clear he believes he and his family are victims of an establishment plot that embraces the political classes, the security forces and the media.

He expressed anger with successive British Governments for refusing him citizenship, and resurrected old feuds with the Conservative party and with businessman `Tiny’ Rowland over the purchase of Harrods.

Al-Fayed has repeatedly been condemned in the British Press for his conspiracy theories and for his many public statements about the Paris crash and the relationship between Diana and his son.

In his article he praised French judge HerveStephan for the way he had conducted inquiry into the crash, saying he has “great faith in his investigation”.
