Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. came under pressure from U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron to respond to “really appalling” allegations that its News of the World tabloid hacked into the voicemail of a murdered schoolgirl.
News International Chief Executive Officer Rebekah Brooks, then the newspaper’s editor, should “consider her position,” opposition Labour Party leader Ed Miliband said. Brooks vowed to “vigorously pursue the truth” after reports that a private detective working for the tabloid gained access to Milly Dowler’s phone messages after she was abducted in March 2002.
