‘News of the World’ Reporter Arrested

Veteran British reporter Neville Thurlbeck was arrested on Wednesday for his alleged involvement in the News of the World phone hacking scandal. He was arrested on charges of trying to intimidate a witness and encouraging or assisting an offense. The 51-year-old was taken into custody by officers working on Operation Weeting, the investigation that stemmed from revelations that phone hacking was rampant at the paper, which is now defunct. Thurlbeck, who was arrested in April 2011, made bail. His former colleague, Rebekah Brooks was also re-arrested along with four others.
