39 year old woman arrested Thursday British Police Said. She was involved in the hacking of voice mails of celebrities and Politicians.

In the same scandal she was fourth person that has forced the News of the World newspaper into a public apology and offers to pay compensation to victims, including actress Sienna Miller.

British police said that three men were arrested in the month of April and they are on bail this time.

Police launched a new investigation this year into hacking by journalists in response to widespread complaints from politicians, celebrities and other high-profile figures who fear they have been targets.

British lawmaker Tom Watson earlier this month said in parliament that police have information that "strongly suggests" a second private investigator targeted royals, lawmakers and high-level terrorist informers on behalf of the News International media group.

British media said the targets included former Prime Minister Tony Blair and Kate Middleton when she was dating Prince William, the second in line to the throne. They married in April.

Buckingham Palace and Prince William's office at Clarence House both declined to comment.
