DRSmith Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 A scandal around media baron Rupert Murdoch's flagship British Sunday tabloid widened Wednesday, with the father of a bomb victim saying his phone may have been hacked and Prime Minister David Cameron calling the allegations "absolutely disgusting." Graham Foulkes, whose son was killed in a 2005 London terror attack, said Wednesday his phone number and home address were found in the files of a private investigator working for the News of the World. The accusation follows allegations that journalists also hacked into the phone messages of missing teenager Milly Dowler, who was later found to have been murdered. Police launched a special investigation this year into accusations of widespread phonehacking by News of the World, targeting politicians and celebrities. Actor Hugh Grant told CNN Wednesday police had visited him as part of their investigation. Now, following allegations this week that the paper also illegally eavesdropped on murder victims and the families of people killed in terrorist bombings, Cameron said an independent inquiry was needed. http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/europe/07/06/uk.phonehacking/index.html?hpt=hp_t1 This is disgusting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
