How the couple shells with sarin of unknown origin compare to 400 proven nukes in the country which is run by the man wanted for the war crimes? And the last thing we can add to the story Israel has on the record many more aggressions in recent history than Iraq. They even starting to arrest journalists from prestigious BBC without giving reason. Where are the WMD inspectors, why United States are not sending coalition to take these weapons out? Why not a single media in the US reported this story? THIS IS A CONSPIRACY and if not please someone deny my claim with valid arguments. <<British journalist arrested in Israel Thursday 27 May 2004, 3:49 Makka Time, 0:49 GMT Whistleblower Vanunu was interviewed by the journalist Related: Freed Vanunu: Inspect Israeli nukes Israel stalls Vanunu's release Tools: Email Article Print Article Send Your Feedback Israeli police have arrested a British journalist who in 1986 exposed the country's nuclear secrets in an interview with whistleblower Mordechai Vanunu. Witnesses said plainclothes policemen on Wednesday escorted Peter Hounam, who had been preparing a new documentary about Vanunu, to his Jerusalem hotel. They searched his room and then bundled him off in a car. A spokesman from the Prime Minister's office, which oversees Israel's security services, confirmed the journalist had been arrested. A government gag order prevented release of further details in the case. According to the Web site of the leading Yedioth Aharonoth newspaper, Hounam was being questioned on suspicion of committing "security offences". Angry Vanunu Vanunu said the arrest was part of "the continued war by the Shin Bet internal security service against me and my supporters and those who want to raise Israeli nuclear secrets." In 1986, Hounam secured an exclusive interview with Vanunu, a former technician at the Israeli atomic reactor in Dimona. His story in London's Sunday Times led independent analysts to conclude Israel had stockpiled as many as 400 nuclear weapons. Israel abducted Vanunu and jailed him for 18 years. Hounam came to Israel to greet Vanunu when he was freed on 21 April and has since spent time with him in a Jerusalem church despite Shin Bet restrictions on Vanunu's contacts with the media. Hounam was making a documentary on Vanunu for the BBC, which expressed grave concern over his arrest. "We are aware that Peter Hounam has been arrested, we are very concerned at this development," a BBC spokeswoman said.
