The U.S. is still investigating whether the phones of Sept. 11 victims were hacked by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp., relatives of those killed in the terrorist attacks were told by Attorney General Eric Holder.

Holder met yesterday in Washington with nine family members at the Justice Department at their request. Norman Siegel, a New York lawyer who represents kin of terrorist attacks’ victims, said that while Holder expressed commitment to the probe, he wouldn’t say whether there is evidence that News Corp.’s reporters obtained phone records.
