Sept. 11 families seek FBI meeting

Source: Politico

Relatives of victims of the September 11 attacks have asked to meet with the FBI and top members of the Obama administration about allegations reporters from one of Rupert Murdoch’s British papers tried to hack the cell phone accounts of victims.

In letters sent Monday to Attorney General Eric Holder, FBI Director Robert Mueller and Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.), the ranking member on the House Judiciary Committee, a lawyer representing some victims’ families is asking for meetings to discuss a report that journalists from the now-defunct News of the World asked a New York-based private investigator to help them gather information from victims’ phones.

The FBI has initiated an informal probe into the allegations, which were first reported by the Daily Mirror.

2. Why ask for a meeting?

We have a FBI office in town, and I had to go there once when our store got robbed by a suspect the FBI was looking for, and anyone can walk in there and talk to an agent. Although as I'm typing this I realized they probably want to talk to the higher ups.

3. First reported by the Daily Mirror.

That was the only such report, All other reports go back to The Mirror.

We're assuming The Mirror have some means of substantiating the claim.
