LONDON (AP) — Two former members of the National Health Service were arrested Thursday by officers investigating corrupt links between police and journalists exposed by Britain's phone hacking scandal, Scotland Yard said. It said a 46-year-old man and a 42-year-old woman were arrested in Somerset, southwestern England, on suspicion of corruption and conspiracy to cause misconduct in a public office, and are currently being questioned at a local police station. The arrests came just hours after a 26-year-old man was arrested by officers investigating the hacking of voicemail messages.
