"Murdoch's papers had tried to hack Brown"

Things are turning more dismal for media giant Rupert Murdoch's as a new revelation indicated that elements of his media empire tried to hack former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown's personal information.

Murdoch´s two more news papers were alleged to be involved in hacking, deception that involved accessing to former Prime Minister Gordon Brown´s bank account information and also hacking the his family´s medical records , media reports said.

The medical reports of the PM´s seriously ill baby son was also obtained by the paper, media reports said.

"So sad to learn all I am about my family´s privacy - it is very personal and really hurtful if all true," Sarah Brown, wife of the former PM tweeted.

The media baron has already faced lots of troubles in recent past with his conglomerate News Corporation-owned News of the World, Britain´s best-selling newspaper, published its last edition on Sunday following a phone hacking scandal.

The deputy chief operating officer of News Corp, which owns the paper´s parent company, News International, James Murdoch made the announcement on Thursday at the paper´s headquarters in London.

"News International today announces that this Sunday, 10 July 2011, will be the last issue of the News of the World," Murdoch said, adding that the "the good things" the paper has done have been "sullied by behaviour that was wrong".

"Indeed, if recent allegations are true, it was inhuman and has no place in our Company. The News of the World is in the business of holding others to account. But it failed when it came to itself," said Murdoch.

British Prime Minister David Cameron has already promised a full inquiry into the scandal after it emerged that murdered British teenager Mill Dowler was one of the people whose voicemail messages employees of the paper, founded in 1843, had hacked into in search of stories.
