This article is for subscribers only.
The News of the World phone-hacking scandal claimed the job of a second senior officer at Scotland Yard in two days, as the London force’s top anti-terrorism officer resigned over ties with the shuttered News Corp. tabloid.
Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner John Yates announced his resignation yesterday, a day after Commissioner Paul Stephenson stepped down. The announcements came after Neil Wallis, a former editor at the tabloid who also acted as a consultant for the police, was arrested on suspicion of conspiring to intercept phone calls.
