JERUSALEM (AP) - Nuclear whistle blower Mordechai Vanunu was arrested by Israeli police Thursday for passing on classified information to unnamed international parties, police said. Vanunu completed serving an 18-year prison sentence in April for revealing Israeli nuclear secrets to the Sunday Times newspaper of London. As part of his release arrangement, he was barred from meeting with foreigners and discussing his work at Israel's top secret nuclear facility in the Negev Desert. |

Cathedral 'invasion'
"The bishop of the Jerusalem church where Vanunu has lived since his release said he saw him seized by between 30 and 50 men, many armed with machine guns.
Anglican Bishop Riah Abu El-Assal told the BBC News website that Vanunu's room had been searched and his mobile phones, laptop, camera and notebooks seized.
The bishop said some Swedish pilgrims visiting St George's Church had been shocked to tears by the police operation.
"They invaded the cathedral close," he said. "Some of them climbed over the fences, others came through the main gate.
"They terrified, terrorised the guests and the pilgrims, none of whom knew why this invasion happened with machine guns."
The bishop said he was "very angry" at the way Vanunu was seized. He was not allowed to speak to him, but was told he was being taken for interrogation.
Police spokesman Gil Kleiman told the Reuters news agency that Vanunu would be charged at a court hearing on Friday. "
