From SkyNews: "The 43-year-old went to a London police station by appointment at midday today and is being held on suspicion of conspiring to intercept communications and corruption allegations.
Operation Weeting has been launched to investigate claims that newspaper journalists hacked into the phones of high-profile figures and even victims of crime.
Mrs Brooks resigned as chief executive of News International (NI) on Friday to avoid distracting attention from the company's efforts to "fix the problems of the past".
She was editor of the News Of The World (NOTW) when missing schoolgirl Milly Dowler's phone was hacked and messages were deleted. The teenager was later found murdered.
Mrs Brooks is the tenth person to be arrested in connection with the NOTW scandal since detectives reopened their investigation earlier this year."
How many is this now? British law enforcement is moving closer and closer to the head of the snake, the criminal syndicate, Rupert Murdoch. Rupert Murdoch is the Bernie Madoff of journalism. Fox News is the crown jewel of Murdoch/Madoff's journalistic Ponzi scheme.
