Rebekah Brooks was working with police involved in “Operation Weeting” – the probe of the claims that the Rupert Murdock-owned News of the World tabloid journalists were hacking into phone conversations to get news stories. Whatever happened to trigger the action, Ms. Brooks was taken in again.
Stay tuned.
