    Cameras are aimed at Chairman of News Corporation Rupert Murdoch, obscured at left, as he leaves News International's office in London, Wednesday, July 13, 2011. NEW YORK (AP)--The FBI has opened an investigation into allegations that media mogul Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. sought to hack into the phones of Sept. 11 victims, a law enforcement official said Thursday. The decision to investigate was made after U.S. Rep. Peter King, a Republican, wrote FBI Director Robert Mueller demanding an investigation, said the official, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to speak publicly. The FBI had received letters from King and other members of Congress. News Corp., based in New York, has been in crisis mode because of a scandal that sank its U.K. newspaper the News of the World.
