TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) - Mordechai Vanunu, who served 18 years in prison for revealing Israel's nuclear secrets, appeared in court in a libel suit Monday, his first public appearance since being released last month.

Vanunu has been secluded at a Jerusalem church since is April 21 release.

Wearing a blue Oxford shirt and a cross around his neck, Vanunu did not testify, and the case was continued. Asked by reporters how he was doing, Vanunu signaled with a nod that he was OK. He was whisked out of the courtroom by security guards without speaking to reporters.

Vanunu has filed a libel suit against the Yediot Ahronot daily. The newspaper reported in November 1999 that Vanunu had passed information on how to prepare explosives to Hamas militants in prison.

2. That's not what I've been told...

If it's not about the I/P conflict, which this article isn't, then people can either post it here or in the I/P forum. Just because something is about Israel does not mean it gets sent straight to the I/P forum, or at least that's what I thought the rules said...
