Galloway may take 'Fake Sheikh' action

GEORGE Galloway is considering further legal action against publishers of the News of the World in connection with an alleged encounter with the "Fake Sheikh" in a London hotel.

It comes after the former Glasgow Kelvin Labour MP won an undisclosed sum of damages from News Group Newspapers (NGN) for having his phone hacked.

Mr Galloway is unable to speak of the details of the settlement due to confidentiality agreement but it is understood that the deal does not prevent him from taking further action against the company.
