Prisoner X- TeeDee Simons

Recently the media has reported a man, known as Prisoner X, who hung himself in an Isralean prison in 2010. For years the Israeli government denied the death of Prisoner X in 2010 which was first reported on Ynetnews website. Debate was spread over Isreal's government censorshib and the country's prison system because the name was not released of the prisoner. Recently though, an Australian report when out saying that Prisoner X was a dual citizen of Australia and Israel and was about to become a spy for Israel. The report also gave out his name, Ben Zyglier. Details about why and how he killed  himself are still unclear though to sources. According to sources this case was very sensitive to Israel's intelligence community and could hurt them immensley if this was released to the public, but why?

This article was written by Michael Schwartz adn Sara Sidner, CNN. It was written this morning, February 18, at 9am. This article is for people who are interested in foreign affairs and the middle east. This article was interesting for me because it left a lot of details out. For example, it didn't talk much about the man who hung himself or why he did, but how it affected other countries. I enjoyed this article and I want to learn more about it.

  2. That's very mysterious. Why would Israel pick a prisoner to become one of their spies?
