Threats to BP chief's family
WASHINGTON
June 9, 2010
THE family of British BP chief Tony Hayward is under police protection because of hate mail and threatening telephone calls.
Mr Hayward's wife Maureen said the mail and calls had made her and her two children feel ''rather uncomfortable'' at their home in Kent.
There has been growing hostility to the company in America in response to the spill, which has so far leaked about 1 million barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico.
