Just to give some flesh to this, amongst other targets, one of the phones they hacked belonged to a young girl missing at the time, subsequently found killed. They actually deleted messages off her voicemail to make space for new ones, which led the police and the girl's parents to believe she was still alive.
The also hacked the phones of family members of service people killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the phones of victims of the 7/7 London bombs. This is all happening at a time when Murdoch is trying to buy Sky broadcasting, of which he is a minority shareholder currently. It look very unlikely that the purchase will be allowed to go ahead, although he might hope that closing the paper will help his cause. It's a truly sordid nasty little story. -----Original Message----- From: Robert Munn [mailto:cfmuns...@gmail.com] Sent: 07 July 2011 21:05 To: cf-community Subject: news of the world scandal News of the World, Rupert Murdoch's Sunday London tabloid, has been implicated in hacking and police payoffs.
