Breaking from Reuters:
Aug 10 (Reuters) - British police said on Wednesday they had arrested a 61-year-old man as part of their investigation into the phone-hacking scandal at the now-defunct News of the World, which was part of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp media empire.
Greg Miskiw, 61, one of the few senior editors at the time of the phone-hacking who had not yet been arrested, told Britain's Channel 4 news last month he was preparing to return from his Florida home to Britain to talk to police.

Detectives said the man had been held at midday after he arrived by appointment at a London police station on "suspicion of unlawful interception of communications" and conspiring to commit the same offence.

My heart goes out to the people of the United Kingdom for having been victims for decades of Murdoch's iron-fisted media manipulation, and who now are suffering through riots. But this latest arrest shows that Scotland Yard can walk and chew gum, as it were, and deal with both crises simultaneously.
Will update as I learn more. Cheers.
UPDATE 1: (Mastodonic h/t to Diogenes2008)
Keith Olbermann suspects that Murdoch's New York Post hacked into his computer to get confidential information for their gossip columns.
Go to the 3:33 mark in this clip:
So Keith now joins Jude Law, 9/11 families, and others with examples of possible US Crime by Murdoch's company. The Attorney General Eric Holder will be personally meeting with families of 9/11 victims on Aug. 24 (two weeks from today) regarding the FBI investigation into Murdoch's sleaze farm. Maybe Keith, or Keith's IT guy should talk with Holder too!
