From AFP: ..................

But Rockefeller, a former Senate intelligence committee chairman, told reporters his "bet" was that an investigation would turn up "criminal stuff" and said his powerful committee "might" lead its own probe.

"This will be a huge issue," he said.

Rockefeller had called Tuesday for "the appropriate agencies" of the US government to probe whether alleged hacking by members of Murdoch's media empire extended to US citizens and warned of "severe" consequences.

"I am concerned that the admitted phone hacking in London by the News Corp. may have extended to 9/11 victims or other Americans. If they did, the consequences will be severe," said Rockefeller, a Democrat.
