Mordechai Vanunu, who
worked at the country's main nuclear reactor and was sentenced to 18
years in prison for divulging details of the plant to a British
newspaper in 1986, will be placed under government supervision when
he completes his sentence in April, the prime minister's office said.
A statement by Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's office did not specify
the restrictions but said the intention would be to prevent Mr.
Vanunu "from committing additional security crimes." Israel has
always refused to discuss its nuclear program.
