How could they miss the fact that Vanunu was the same man who, as a student in the small town of Beer- sheba. insisted on taking his clothes off at student parties in order to prove that he had the "guts to do it." How could they miss the bulky 35mm camera he car- ried through the tight securi- ty screen at the Dimona plant, take photographs in- side, then smuggle the film out of the country — landing in Moscow a few days later on his way to Australia? These questions will never be answered. At least, not publicly. But it is precisely such questions that are caus- ing eyebrows to arch so acute- ly. For they demonstrate what can, at best, be de- scribed as a major intelli- gence lapse; one that reflects badly on a branch of the in- dustry that has long been regarded as a market leader. But the Vanunu affair, damaging as it might be to Israel's security interests and to the reputation of its in- telligence services, is only one of a series of security affairs that have come badly un- stuck recently, and — worst nightmare of all for a spymaster — been exposed to the full glare of public scrutiny. In fact, 1986 will probably be remembered in Israel's history books as the "Year of the Spy." Over the past year, give or take a few months: • United States Customs officials have charged that Israel attempted to illegally acquire classified technology for extending the life of tank gun barrels. • A United States "sting" snared a clutch of Israelis, led by a retired army general, who were attempting to sell more than $2 billion worth of U.S. weapons to Iran. They are still in prison awaiting trial. • United States investi- gators discovered an Israeli "plot" to smuggle out krytrons, high-speed elec- tronic switching devices that can act as triggers for nuclear weapons. • Israel was alleged to have illegally acquired the tech- nology for making cluster bombs, a classified weapon that the U.S. had previously denied to Jerusalem. • A 32-year-old American Jew, Jonathan Jay Pollard, was arrested outside the Israeli Embassy in Washing- ton after being turned away when he applied for asylum.
