Nuclear whistleblower tells reporters he entered West Bank to see 'Palestinian ghettos' <snip>
"Over a year since his released from jail nuclear whistleblower Mordechai Vanunu is still grabbing headlines.
Following his arrest at a West Bank checkpoint Friday, the Tel Aviv Magistrates court released him on bail this evening, and acting on the demands of the Police Unit for International Crimes, Vanunu will be taken to the Jerusalem church where he has been staying since his release in April 2004.
The state prosecution demanded that Vanunu, who was jailed for 18 years for revealing Israel’s secret nuclear program to The Sunday Times, post a bail of NIS 50,000 (USD 10,600) for his release.
On his arrival to the court Vanunu said that all he wants is to leave Israel. He told reporters that he traveled to the West Bank village of al-Ram in order to see “Palestinian ghettos.”
