Five Arrested at Murdoch's Sun Newspaper

Reuters reports tonight that five top editors and reporters from the News Corp.-owned Sun newspaper have been arrested in London apparently in connection with the corruption of police officers. The events have played out in the wake of the message hacking scandal at News of the World.  It is said that police were bribed for news tips.  News International chief executive Tom Mockridge announced the news in a memo to his staff. "I am very saddened that a further five colleagues from The Sun have been arrested this morning by the Police," he wrote. Mockridge said that deputy editor Geoff Webster, picture editor John Edwards, chief reporter John Kay, chief foreign correspondent Nick Parker and deputy news editor John Sturgis had all been arrested in an investigation into payoffs to police and public officials.
