Singer LaToya Jackson, sister of pop superstar Michael Jackson, was beaten up by a gang armed with metal pipes who broke into her Rome hotel suite, her manager said Friday. Jackson, 31, was badly bruised in the attack and is resting at her London home where she returned after the incident, her manager, Jack Gordon, said. Gordon said he believed the attackers had been trying to abduct her. A group of men carrying metal pipes entered Jackson's hotel suite in the early Tuesday after she called for room service, he said, declining to give more details. The injured singer has been besieged by journalists after a reporter caught sight of her Wednesday. Jackson said she had been unable to leave her apartment to see a doctor because of the media presence outside.
