A law enforcement official says the FBI has opened an investigation into allegations media mogul Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. sought to hack into the phones of Sept. 11 victims. The official spoke Thursday to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to speak publicly. New York City-based News Corp. has been in crisis mode because of a scandal that sank its UK newspaper the News of the World. A rival newspaper reported last week the News of the World had hacked into the phone of UK teenage murder victim Milly Dowler in 2002 and may have impeded a police investigation into her disappearance. More possible victims soon emerged, including former Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Murdoch says his media company will recover from any damage wrought by the phone-hacking and police bribery allegations. The FBI's New York office hasn't commented. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below. 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. The decision to investigate was made after US Rep. Peter King and several other members of Congress wrote FBI Director Robert Mueller demanding an investigation, said the official, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to speak publicly. The official stressed that the probe was in its infancy but declined to discuss the scope of it or say whether any investigative steps had been taken. News Corp., based in New York, has been in crisis mode because of a scandal that sank its UK newspaper the News of the World. A rival newspaper reported last week that the News of the World had hacked into the phone of UK teenage murder victim Milly Dowler in 2002 and may have impeded a police investigation into her 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. US Department of Justice spokeswoman Laura Sweeney said Thursday that the department "does not comment specifically on investigations, though anytime we see evidence of wrongdoing, we take appropriate action." The FBI and US attorney's office in New York declined comment. There was no immediate response to a phone message left for News Corp. King, a Republican, said Thursday afternoon he had not officially been contacted by the FBI and said he wanted to reserve comment until he hears from the agency. "If they do, I'd be gratified," he said in a brief telephone interview with the AP. 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. Murdoch began his media career in Australia in 1952 after inheriting The News newspaper after the death of his father, and he has built News Corp. into one of the world's biggest media groups. Assets include Fox News, the 20th Century Fox movie studio, The Wall Street Journal, the New York Post and three newspapers in Britain - down from four with the death of the News of the World. Also Thursday, Scotland Yard said it had made its seventh arrest related to the inquiry into phone hacking at the now-defunct tabloid, whose closure was a doomed effort to keep alive a bid for the highly profitable network British Sky Broadcasting. Police didn't disclose the name of the arrested man. Associated Press writer Frank Eltman contributed to this report.

===================================================== I'm tracking it to see how well Rupert hides who it is that bails his ass out.

Oooooooooooooo, it's a veritable holocaust! He'll end up in prison awaiting execution with all the other jews that are attacking Uhhmerikka, like Lloyd Blankfein, Ben Shalom Bernanke, Alan Greenspan, Jamie Dimon, Sheila Bair, Abe Foxman, Bawney Fwank, etc... Well, never mind then.

======================================================== This (coverup) story is much deeper than it appears on the surface. That's JUST IT ... the SHTF because 9/11/01 KEEPS RESURFACING. This time the turds floated all the way to the top.

Problem-Reaction-Solution. This is has come to the surface for the sole purpose of placing the media under even tighter control. A top ranking Illuminiist/Zionist like Murdoch wouldn't be put in deep shit like this without it serving some grand scheme.
So the blackman orders a pint of of the Black Stuff in Hayes' pub in Moneygall, he hands the barman a Fiver and says; "I HOPE there is some CHANGE with that!" :-P
It couldn't happen to a nicer guy! ;)

Yes, just saying. lol

That makes sense. Another possibility though is that he could have angered someone higher on the food chain by refusing an order or "gettin' uppity".
Yes, that is possible too. We only need to look at the Dominique Strauss incident - hardly served the IMF any useful purpose, and poor timing from a PR perspective here in Europe - the IMF didn't exactly show their best face in front of the peoples of Europe they are attempting to con. So, one can only conclude Strauss pissed off his peers, and that's why sexual assault charges nearly made it to trial...

Amazing how the girl suddenly wound up with a $100K windfall. ;-)
Interesting they used the carrot rather than the stick. Well, maybe they used the stick too..

To be honest, I haven't really delved into this much yet. Wasting far too much time on worthless pursuits. : C

That's more or less what I assumed. So why then the media talking about it as if Zionist heads are going to roll?
