Who is the mysterious Mr X locked away!

Biggins

A strange item that was not supposed to leak out!

Tuesday June 22 2010
Israel has been gripped by a guessing game over the identity of a mysterious prisoner being held in such secrecy that even his guards do not know his name.

"Mr X" is being held for unspecified crimes and confined in total seclusion within a private wing of the maximum-security Ayalon prison.
No one knew of his existence until a story appeared on the website of Israel's leading Hebrew-language newspaper. Quoting unidentified officials within the Israeli penitential service, it said that Mr X was being held in the single-celled Unit 15.

Coverage

He is not thought to receive any visitors and his wing is cut off from the rest of the prison by double iron doors.
Within hours, the story had vanished from the newspaper's website, allegedly after Israel's domestic intelligence service won a gagging order banning all media coverage of the case.
The disappearance of the story has, however, attracted the interests of human rights activists in Israel, who have started a campaign to force the state to unmask Mr X and disclose his crimes.

Dan Yakir, chief legal counsel for the Association for Civil Rights in Israel, said: "There is no information on whether this person has been charged, whether he has been tried or whether he has been convicted."
One Israeli security expert said that the secrecy suggested espionage rather than terrorism is likely to lie at the heart of the mystery.

It's Benjamin Netanyahu's benevolent and honorable twin brother, locked away since birth, his identity concealed beneath an iron mask.

Even though I've heard of him before, I had to look him up as I couldn't belive such a brilliant name as Mordechai Vanunu wasn't a Simpsons character.

The dude with the secrets about how Jacobs get the figs into the figrolls is the most likely answer that I can think of that references something in popular culture in an off-hand way.

Mordechai Vanunu was picked up and incarcerated again in May 2010 and was sent to a solitary confinement unit for 1/ speaking to a non-Isrraeli joutrnalist anfd 2/ liaising with a non-Israeli national - his Norwegian partner. Apparently these broke his Parole conditions. Just to remind everyone that he was the brave Israeli nuclear industry worker who in 1986 broke the news of Israelis nuclear arms caopability to the Sunday Times.

I don't think he's Mr. X, though.
According to this guys source, Richard Silverstein, who was instrumental in bringing Mr. X to public attention, Mr. X is a member of one the 'terrorist organisations', so presumably he's Palestinian.

hmmm.... first we have a riot where shots were fire in South Africa. Now we find out that Israel has some mysterious test subject locked away.

Seems like we're heading for Class 3 outbreak :eek:

I'm heading to my fortress before the Class 4 outbreak and living in a undead world.
