British Police Arrest Rebekah Brooks, 5 Others in Murdoch Phone-Hacking Sweep 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------



British police arrested six more people early today as part of the
phone-hacking scandal that has rocked the holdings of media giant Rupert
Murdoch. Former News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks and
her husband, Charlie Brooks, were reportedly among those arrested.
Rebekah Brooks, who is the former editor of the British tabloids News of
the World and The Sun, was previously arrested in the scandal last July.
Police said the six people are suspected of conspiracy to pervert the
course of justice.
