Lawyers representing Hillsborough families reveal lawsuit (The Associated Press)

Lawyers representing some of the families of 96 soccer fans crushed to death in a crowded stadium in 1989 have filed a civil suit against two British police forces, alleging misuse of power in office. The lawsuit -filed by Saunders Law on behalf of several hundred family members and survivors - was revealed Thursday after an inquest earlier this week determined the fans were unlawfully killed. ''The evidence points to abuse on an industrial scale by both South Yorkshire and West Midlands Police, beyond any 'one bad apple' analysis,'' the firm said in a statement.
