Associated Press Writers= PORT FOURCHON, La. (AP) — Attorney General Eric Holder said Tuesday that federal authorities
have opened criminal and civil investigations into the nation's worst oil spill, and BP lost billions in market value when shares
dropped in the first trading day since the company failed yet again to plug the gusher.
Investors presumably realized the best chance to stop the leak was months away and there was no end in sight to the cleanup.
As BP settled in for the long-term, Holder announced the criminal probe, though he would not specify the companies or individuals
that might be targeted.
