Jerusalem, Feb 09: Secret Israeli military documents related to the Jewish state's arsenal of "special arms" have been published on the Internet, according to a report on a private television channel.
Computer expert Roy Livneh told the television station on Sunday he had "easily" obtained access to the classified material, which he subsequently turned over to police.
In an allusion to Israel 's nuclear arsenal, the television presenter said the documents published on the Internet "deal with special arms, which got Mordechai Vanunu 18 years in prison."
Vanunu, who worked as a technician at the Dimona nuclear facility in southern Israel , was handed an 18-year prison sentence in 1986 after giving details about Israel 's secret weapons program to a British newspaper.
Although Israel has firmly adhered to a policy of "nuclear ambiguity", never confirming or denying it possessed nuclear weapons, foreign experts believe the Jewish state holds at least 200 atomic warheads.
The Israeli network refused to give further details on the reference to "special arms" nor did he release the name of the website where the documents were published, as such issues are subject to military censorship in Israel . Bureau Report
