London, Nov 30: Mohamed Al Fayed was convinced that the crash in which his son Dodi and Princess Diana died was a "plot," within seconds of receiving the news of the tragedy, the ongoing inquest into the couple’s deaths has heard.

Franz Klein, the president of the Ritz hotel in Paris, said he had telephoned Fayed about 20 minutes after the accident on August 31, 1997.

Klein, also known as Frank, told the jury at London's high court that during the conversation with Fayed he had referred to the crash as an accident, but the Harrod’s owner insisted that it was a “plot or an assassination.”
