Israel lawmakers call for broad inquiry into Prisoner X case

Israel Materials 18 February 2013 15:14 (UTC +04:00)

Several Israeli lawmakers called Monday for a different panel to investigate the apparent prison suicide of Ben Zygier, an alleged agent of the Mossad intelligence agency.

A parliamentary panel - the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defence Subcommittee for Intelligence - has said it would investigate, dpa reported.

But Labour Party lawmaker Nachman Shai said that panel included members who were not independent because they had held security-related or government positions when or before Zygier died.
