LONDON - London police arrested a 61-year old man Wednesday in connection with the ongoing investigation into electronic eavesdropping of voice mail messages.

The man is the 12th person arrested in the scandal tied to the defunct British tabloid, the News of the World.

Sky News, which is 39 per cent owned by the former tabloid's parent company News Corp., identified him as Greg Miskiw, a former news editor at the News of the World. Police said he was held in custody.

Detectives have been investigating claims the newspaper illegally eavesdropped on the phone messages of celebrities, politicians and even crime victims.

All of the arrestees are being squeezed. In exchange for a guilty plea bargain the suspect has to tell all that he/she knows. The trickle of arrests will continue as the investigation moves forward and one by one the phone hackers and their bosses will be tracked down. And some of them will talk.
