Former editor to be quizzed on hacking

THE former editor of the News of the World, Andy Coulson, is to be arrested this morning. The Guardian reported that he had been told to attend a central London police station for questioning over claims he knew about phone hacking.

A second former senior journalist at the newspaper will also be arrested in the next few days, the Guardian reported.

Coulson was editor between 2003 and 2007 but has denied any knowledge of the phone hacking. He resigned just weeks before the paper’s royal correspondent, Clive Goodman, and private investigator Glenn Mulcaire were jailed after admitting intercepting messages on royal aides’ phones.
