A 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.
