Phone hacking legal action to begin in USLONDON (AP) — A group of British phone- hacking victims plan to ask U. S. courts to look into possible "corrupt practices" at Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., a lawyer said Friday. The move could broaden the scope of a scandal that has shaken the mogul's international media empire. British attorney Mark Lewis told The Associated Press that he had retained American lawyer Norman Siegel, who represents the families of many of those killed on Sept. News Corp. in the United States. Lewis predicted that the first hearing could occur within two or three months. But Siegel downplayed the prospect of immediate action, telling AP that he'd only been asked "to explore whether there's legal options that can be brought."Lewis "asked us to do the research, that's what we're doing," Siegel said.

Lewis took care to note that damages awarded in the United States were "far higher" than anything than he might win in the English court system. News Corp. declined comment. Its shares dipped slightly in early morning trading but bounced back up to about $1.
