stumbleupon An Israeli journalist who published classified military documents returned to Israel on Monday for questioning by police investigators.Uri Blau, a reporter for the Ha'aretz daily, on Tuesday was interrogated for more than eight hours over his part in receiving and publishing the information contained in some 1,500 secret and top-secret military documents taken from Israeli Defense Forces ( IDF) headquarters, Army Radio reported.
Police may ask that he take as a lie-detector test over the documents received from a former soldier, Anat Kamm, who served as secretary to a senior officer at the Israeli Army's Central Command, and at other sensitive locations.
Blau wrote articles on military affairs, including an article that was apparently based on classified information, that said Kamm's superior, IDF Central Command chief, Yair Naveh, okayed a targeted killing of a senior Hamas militant despite a Supreme Court ruling forbidding the policy.
The article was cleared for publication by military censors, according to the Ha'aretz daily.
The reporter handed over the documents, including those never published, to investigators on his return, the newspaper said. He had been living in London for more than a year after leaving Israel, reportedly, over fear of arrest in the case.
The deal for Blau's return "struck a proper balance between national security and freedom of the press", State prosecutor Mibi Mozer told Army Radio.
Blau's sources - besides Kamm, who waived her immunity - will remain secret as part of the deal reached with the authorities, according to the prosecutor.
Kamm, who has confessed to taking more than 2,000 documents during her service in 2006 and 2007, was charged with possession and transfer of classified information with the intent to harm state security, a charge that can carry up to a life sentence in prison.
"The fact that Uri will be forced under the terms of the bargain to hand over hundreds of documents to the security services, including those he received from Anat Kamm, does not constitute an infringement of press freedoms, as the Shin Bet has undertaken not to investigate their sources," Mozer said.
"Both national security and press immunity won here," according to Blau's lawyer, Talya Lieblich.
