LONDON ? The British political agenda is again being dominated by revelations of illegal activity at a popular British tabloid newspaper, after new allegations emerged that the News of the World hacked the telephone of a murdered girl.
The House of Commons scheduled an emergency debate Wednesday amid outrage over allegations that the Sunday tabloid deleted the girl's voicemails, giving her parents false hope that she was still alive.
New allegations include claims a private detective employed by the newspaper obtained telephone numbers of relatives of people killed in the terrorist attack on London subway trains and a bus in 2005.
The BBC, meanwhile, reported that detectives had obtained evidence that the newspaper had illegally paid police officers for information.
