The man convicted of leaking Israel’s nuclear secrets to a London newspaper is planning to file a suit against the Jewish state. Mordechai Vanunu has sought permission to meet with two British lawyers in connection with the suit, his lawyer said. Convicted of espionage in 1986, Vanunu was released from solitary confinement in March and is now appealing a May parole board decision that he complete his 18-year sentence.
