Dead soldiers' families 'hacked by newspaper'

hares in BSkyB have fallen 2% on fears that the News of the World phone-hacking scandal could hinder parent company News Corp's bid for the broadcaster.
Politicians and protesters have called for the proposed takeover to be referred to the Competition Commission.
News Corp shares also fell more than 3% in both New York and Sydney.
The News of the World is owned by News International, which is part of the News Corp media conglomerate.
News Corp already owns 39% of BSkyB, but last year said it wanted to take over the remainder of the company.
It initially offered 700p a share, valuing the company at about £12bn, but BSkyB rejected this.
