Only on nmnbc.com 1. The official spoke Thursday to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly. New York City-based NewsCorp. has been in crisis mode. A rival newspaper reported last week that the company's News of theWorld had hacked into the phone of U.K. teenage murder victim Milly Dowler in 2002 and may have impeded a police investigation into the 13-year-old's disappearance. More possible victims soon emerged: other child murder victims, 2005 London bombing victims, the families of dead soldiers and former Prime Minister Gordon Brown. The FBI's New York office didn't immediately comment Thursday. There was no immediate response to messages left for News Corp. and the U.S. attorney's office in Manhattan. On Thursday, Murdoch caved in to pressure from Britain's Parliament as he and his son James first refused, then agreed, to appear next week before lawmakers investigating phone hacking and bribery by employees of their newspaper empire.
