Hoare

The two men had worked together at the Sun newspaper and then Mr. Coulson had hired him to the News of the World, Mr. Hoare told the BBC.

Analysts believed the north initially appeared to be offering Barack Obama an olive branch, and Hoare said the US had sent positive signals.

One, Sean Hoare, said the editor had "actively encouraged" him to hack phones.

One of Hoare's men was last in line, behind this civilian, and the customs officer insisted on searching his bag as well.

Mr. Sonn said he'd tried calling Mr. Hoare Monday but there had been no response.

The tribunal hasn't taken that decision, but if it did, I think it would be a sensible decision, " said Hoare. "

Mr. Hoare had publicly said that he was fired during a time when he was struggling with drugs and alcohol.

The Guardian reported that Hoare had recently injured his nose and his foot in an accident.

Added Mr. Hoare: 'Phone tapping hadn't just existed in the News of the World. It was endemic within the whole industry. '

Hoare says he personally shot off the man's toes with an automatic pistol.

The plan for the coup proceeded despite this set-back with one team of Hoare's men attempting to capture a barracks.

Hoare conceded and the captain of the aircraft allowed them on board after Hoare had found fuel for the aircraft.

Two top police officers have quit their jobs and Sean Hoare, a former staff member who exposed phone hacking, has been found dead.

The unpopularity of the Hoare-Laval pact in Britain forced Hoare to resign.

Police were called to Sean Hoare's home in Watford this morning, and he was pronounced dead shortly afterwards.

Hoare also expressed sincere gratitude to the Chinese Embassy for its strong support and assistance to the event.

Following his comments to media, police questioned Mr. Hoare, according to David Sonn, a lawyer who had represented him.
