"Israel's" nuclear whistleblower, released in 2004 after 18 years in prison for leaking nuclear secrets, will serve another 3 months.

Mordechai Vanunu, released in 2004 after 18 years in prison for leaking "Israeli" nuclear secrets, will serve another three months behind bars after refusing to carry out community service, a court ruled on Tuesday.

A panel of High Court Judges returned the 56-year-old Moroccan-born "Israeli" to jail after he failed to fulfill a community service order, punishment for breaching his parole terms by contacting foreigners without authorization.

The former nuclear technician had asked to be assigned community duties in occupied East Al Quds (Jerusalem) after he risked attack by angry "Israelis", many of whom see him as a traitor, in the city's Jewish-populated west.
