DID VANUNU ADVISE HAMAS ON BUILDING BOMBS?
Israeli nuclear whistle-blower Mordechai Vanunu lost a lawsuit against a newspaper that reported he had advised Hamas terrorists on building bombs. Tel Aviv Magistrate’s Court on Monday found against Vanunu’s claim that Yediot Achronot falsely and injuriously reported in 1999 that he was caught passing notes with advice to the Palestinians, who were jailed with him in Ashkelon. The court noted Vanunu’s insistence that as a peace activist he would do no such thing, but said Yediot’s report was based on a senior security source and thus did not violate Israel’s libel laws. Vanunu, who went free last year after serving an 18-year prison term for sharing Israeli nuclear secrets with a British newspaper, was ordered to pay $7,700 in court costs.
