its CEO will face tough questions about the banks attempts to
manipulate key interbank rates.
Shares in Barclays were down 14 percent at 170 pence by 1203
GMT, having earlier fallen as low as 160.75.

the FSA is continuing to investigate other institutions. RBS was down 11.5 percent and Lloyds was down 6.5
percent.
