Prisoner X was Mossad Agent, Ben Zygier
Now Australia’s ABC network blows open the story (transcript here). Prisoner X was not an Iranian general, as my Israeli source reported to me at that time. He was a Mossad agent named Ben Zygier, age 34 with two small children and an Israeli wife. Yossi Melman, reporting in Walla (the report is displayed here, but has been censored and removed by the military censor) says no one knows why he was imprisoned, but that it must have involved a crime that endangered the existence of the State of Israel. That’s a pretty hefty sentence even for security-obsessed Israel. This has to mean he was involved in an act considered treason. It might possibly involve selling secrets to an enemy power. .The case raises extraordinary questions for the Australian government. What did it know about this when it happened? Given that Zygier was likely an undercover spy, it would appear Australia was limited in what it could do. But how often do you have a country’s citizen imprisoned in secret in another country only to commit suicide there? This just begs 1,000 questions in terms of what the Kevin Rudd government knew and when it knew it.The case will also drive further wedges between Australia and Israel in that it will show that the Mossad continues to abuse the passports of its allies. Israel also, according to Australian authorities neglected to notify it that an Australian citizen was jailed and had died in Israeli custody. This is a minimal standard that all nations adhere to in such circumstances.

[ed notes;i doubt he was selling secrets to an enemy power...something else was at work there,wish i knew what it was..hopefully well see more on this and reasons why he was taken out....
