Israel secretly holds 'Prisoner X2' for security breach: lawyer | Reuters
"Much more riveting" implies something much more damaging to Israel.
One wonders what exactly X2 was up to and what exposing this might have meant for Israel.
I invite posters to offer suggestions.
(Reuters) - Israel has secretly jailed a member of its security services for a grave offence, a prominent Israeli lawyer said on Tuesday, describing the case as riveting and sensational.
The revelation emerged from a memorandum released by the Justice Ministry on Monday on a previous secret detainee, Australian Ben Zygier, an immigrant and disgraced Mossad spy who committed suicide in prison in 2010.
Avigdor Feldman, a lawyer who specializes in matters of national security and formerly advised Zygier - dubbed "Prisoner X" by the media - said in a radio interview that he knew of a second detainee, whom he described as "Prisoner X2".
Feldman declined to elaborate on the second inmate other than to say he was male, Jewish, held Israeli citizenship and had worked for the government's secret services.
Asked how the second detainee's alleged offenses compared with Zygier's, Feldman told Tel Aviv radio station 103 FM: "Without getting into details? Much more grave. Much more sensational. Much more amazing. Much more riveting."
