British police have arrested six former News of the World journalists in a new investigation into alleged phone hacking at Rupert Murdoch's defunct tabloid.

Scotland Yard said investigators had identified a ''further suspected conspiracy'' at the paper in 2005 and 2006, separate to the alleged hacking under which a number of people have already been charged.

Two of those arrested on Wednesday now work at the The Sun, according to an internal memo by the chief executive of News International, the British newspaper wing of Mr Murdoch's US-based News Corp empire.

British media named the two Sun journalists as Rachel Richardson and Jane Atkinson, and the other four detainees as the former assistant editor Jules Stenson, former features editor Matt Nixson and former showbusiness editors Rav Singh and Polly Graham.
