Former IDF Soldier Charged with Espionage for Stealing Classified Documents
(Jerusalem Post) Yaakov Katz - Former IDF soldier Anat Kam, 23, has been charged with espionage for copying more than 2,000 top-secret classified military documents when she worked at Central Command between 2005 and 2007, and giving them to Ha'aretz investigative reporter Uri Blau. Kam is under house arrest in Tel Aviv and Blau is in London, refusing to return to Israel to face investigation. In 2008, Kam first tried to interest another journalist in the documents, then she transferred the documents to Blau. Israel Security Agency head Yuval Diskin said Kam's motivation for stealing the documents was "ideological." Kam was indicted on January 14, 2010, but details of the case were only made public on Thursday.
