Subject: Murdoch's News Corp sought to hack into the phones
LONDON — The FBI has opened an investigation into
allegations that media mogul Rupert Murdoch's News
Corp. sought to hack into the phones of Sept. 11 victims, a law
enforcement official said Thursday.

1. The official spoke Thursday to The Associated Press on condition
of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly.
New York City-based NewsCorp. has been in crisis mode.
A rival newspaper reported last week that the company's News of theWorld had
hacked into the phone ofU.K. teenage murder victim Milly Dowler in 2002 and
may have impeded a police investigation into the 13-year-old's disappearance.
More possible victims soon emerged: other child murder victims, 2005 London
bombing victims, the families of dead soldiers and former Prime Minister Gordon
Brown.
The FBI's New York office didn't immediately comment Thursday. There was no
immediate response to messages left for News Corp. and the U.S. attorney's office
in Manhattan.
On Thursday, Murdoch caved in to pressure from Britain's Parliament as he and
his son James first refused, then agreed, to appear next week before lawmakers
investigating phone hacking and bribery by employees of their newspaper empire.
