-Israel Considered Murder, Still Trying to Silence Nuclear Whistleblower

Israel’s Mossad spy agency considered killing nuclear whistle blower Mordechai Vanunu in 1986, but decided instead to abduct him for trial on treason charges, a former Mossad director said on Thursday. Shabtai Shavit, who masterminded the “honey trap” that snaked Vanunu after he told a British newspaper about his work at Dimona atomic research center, said he feared the ex-technician intends to spill more secrets on his release from prison in April.

This and many other stories from the February 6 Issue of the New Insider.
