In 1986, Mordecai Venunu, an Israeli nuclear technician, made two key mistakes.
The first is that he flew to London and began sharing secrets about Israel's nuclear weapons program with reporters.
The second is that he went on a date.
Here's Venunu describing what happened, in his own words, to 60 Minutes Australia.
I bought a cigarette and I saw an American woman standing there,
buying us a cigarette. I look at her, she look at me.
He approached her to start a conversation. And because he thought this was his idea,
he suspected nothing. She was dragging you into her trap?
No, I was already in her trap.
After a few dates, she convinced Venunu to join her for a weekend in Italy.
Despite being a whistleblower who is wanted for treason by the Israeli government,
Venunu flew to Rome with her.
When I entered the house, the door opened and immediately jumped on me two people.
And another woman come and injected me and then I lost my conscience.
The noon who spent the next 18 years in an Israeli prison.
The woman who seduced and entrapped him was engaged in one of the most sinister and secretive aspects of intelligence work.
