To mark the 20th anniversary of her tragic death, Xavier Gourmelon, the French firefighter that tried to save her from the crash, spoke out about that devastating night. Remembering back to when he arrived on the scene, he explained that none of the rescue team were aware that it was Diana trapped inside the vehicle. "Nobody knew it was her, nobody had recognised her," he said. "As I approached, I saw there was a blonde person." Xavier Gourmelon Xavier Gourmelon Xavier explained that Diana then momentarily regained consciousness when she saw him and she spoke her final words. "She looked at me and said, 'Oh my God, what is happening?'," he continued. "She was bit agitated and I tried to calm her down and tell her we would look after her but she fell into a coma again. "We then took her out of the car and put her on a stretcher. At that moment, the doctor said she was in cardiac arrest so we gave her CPR and after 20 seconds she regained consciousness." Despite the attempts to save her, Diana's injuries were too severe; her heart had been displaced to the right side of her chest, which tore the pulmonary vein and the pericardium. She died at 4am on Sunday, August 31, 1997 and the news was revealed two hours later. "It was ordinary in terms of our involvement as firefighters," added Xavier, "but it was extraordinary because of the person involved. Otherwise, it was an accident like any other."

Police detained Hajar Abdul Mubin - otherwise known as Abu Asrie - in the Wednesday raid, according to the source, who was not authorized to speak to the media on the case. Hajar, a Filipino, was arrested along with one other Filipino and six Malaysians from the Borneo state of Sabah, which shares a porous maritime border with the Philippines. The arrests were first reported by the English daily, The Star. The Abu Sayyaf is notorious for bombings, beheadings, extortion and kidnap-for-ransom in the south of the mainly Roman Catholic Philippines. The arrests were the latest in an ongoing crackdown on militancy by Muslim-majority Malaysia. More than 250 people have been arrested between 2013 and 2016 for suspected militancy linked to Islamic State. Governments in Southeast Asia have been worried over the possible expansion of Islamic State in the region as battle-hardened militants return home after the collapse of their self-styled caliphate in the Middle East. Militants loyal to Islamic State seized large parts of Marawi city in the southern Philippines in May. Some 620 militants, 136 soldiers and police and 45 civilians were killed in more than 100 days of fighting.
