(WASHINGTON) — Attorney General Eric Holder on Wednesday called a report of possible phone hacking targeting 9/11 victims and their families very disturbing and he assured them in a lengthy meeting that the department will pursue a preliminary criminal investigation of the matter.
At a news conference outside the Justice Department after the 75-minute session, the family members and their lawyer said they were pleased that the attorney general made the commitment for a preliminary probe into whether Sept. 11 victims or their families were the focus of phone hacking by journalists at Rupert Murdoch's now-shuttered News of the World.
