| [IsraelTimes] A Beersheba resident accused of transferring information about Israel’s nuclear program to Iranian agents is indicted by the Southern District Attorney’s office. Police and Shin Bet agents conducted a months-long investigation into the suspect, Doron Bokovza, who allegedly initiated contact with Iranian agents and offered to sell them information. The suspect feigned having access to Israel’s nuclear research center in the Negev, but in fact provided his handlers with public information about the facility, the agencies say in a joint statement. The problem with involving amateurs is that they don’t know what they’re doing… or that they do too well. On the other hand, what we do here involves public information as well, though none of us would ever spy for the enemy. Police add that Bokovza carried out several tasks for the agents including “photographing facilities and transferring information.”Bokovza was indicted in the Beersheba District Court on charges of contacting a foreign agent and passing information to the enemy. Southern Israel’s Dimona nuclear research facility, officially called the Shimon Peres Negev Nuclear Research Center, is the home of Israel’s alleged nuclear weapons program, according to foreign reports. |
