The disclosure that the driver of Princess Diana's car had been drinking may quash some of the rumours that have begun to emerge in some Egyptian newspapers.
Under the headline, "Did the British secret services kill Diana?", Al-Osbue weekly suggested that there was a racist plot to end Diana's relationship with Dodi al-Fayed.
The daily paper, Al Alam Al Yom, also questioned the official version of events with a front-page headline: "Who killed Diana and Dodi?"
Even Al Ahram, the government daily which usually avoids sensationalism, quoted eye witnesses to the crash saying they believed it was a "premeditated accident".
