Occupied Jerusalem: An Iranian-born Israeli was charged in Israel yesterday with passing sensitive information to Iran, Israel's Shin Bet counter-intelligence agency said.
The man was detained on May 8 and told investigators he visited the Iranian consulate in Istanbul in 2006 and disclosed the names "of people he knew, whom he said were serving in Israel's defence establishment", a Shin Bet statement said.
The suspect was indicted behind closed doors.
