Former Harrods boss Mohamed Al Fayed dies aged 94 - BBC News

Mohamed Al Fayed, the former Harrods boss whose son Dodi was killed in a car crash alongside Diana, Princess of Wales, has died aged 94.

Born in Egypt, he built a business empire in the Middle East before moving to the UK in the 1970s.

However, he never realized his ambition to gain a passport for his adopted country.

Mr Al Fayed had remained largely out of the public limelight in the past decade.
