Mordechai Vanunu, the nuclear technician jailed for selling classified material from one of Israel’s nuclear plants, has said he would reveal more classified information at the first opportunity.

Vanunu’s claims were conveyed by Justice Minister David Libai, who met recently with him.

Libai made the comments during a meeting with the Committee for Vanunu’s Release while explaining the security establishment’s objections to an early release.

Vanunu was apprehended in 1986 after he leaked the information to a British newspaper. He was sentenced in 1988 to serve 18 years in prison.
