Zionists confirms it held ‘Mossad agent’ known as Prisoner X

The Zionist regime confesses that it had secretly imprisoned a reportedly Australian ‘Mossad agent’ who was later found hanged in solitary confinement nearly two years ago.

The Tel Aviv regime was forced to admit on Wednesday that the man, known as ‘Prisoner X,’ had been jailed under a false identity “for security reasons” after Australian media disclosed the secret despite Israel’s great efforts to cover it up.

On February 12, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) reported that Ben Zygier was “found hanged in a cell with state-of-the-art surveillance systems” near Tel Aviv in late 2010.

Originally born in Melbourne, the 34-year-old man with a dual Australian-Israeli citizenship had worked for the Israeli spy agency, Mossad, the ABC reported.

The Israeli justice ministry said, “Following an extensive investigation it was ruled six weeks ago that it was suicide. The prisoner was held in jail under a warrant issued by a court.”

Other details of the case, however, remained under a gag order.

According to the ABC, the detainee “received no visitors and lived hermetically sealed from the outside world” while he was jailed.

Other reports also indicated that even his prison guards did not know his identity.

While the Israeli regime has not exposed the charges against the Prisoner X, the newspaper Australian suggested that he had been detained for treason.

“Why was he interned? The suspicion is because of treason against Israel,” the newspaper cited Israeli Army Radio.

Greg Sheridan, the newspaper’s foreign editor, also said, “If a former Mossad agent has ended up in an Israeli prison, this can only indicate that something has gone terribly wrong.”

Earlier in the day, Australian Foreign Minister Bob Carr also confessed that the government knew an Australian had been detained by the Israeli regime in 2010 for security offences.

However, Carr’s recent revelation comes after an earlier statement that he only became aware of the man’s incarceration after his death.
