Israeli diplomat has no comment on Zygier

ISRAEL'S top diplomat in Australia has refused to comment on the shadowy case of Melbourne man and suspected Mossad spy Ben Zygier.

Ambassador Yuval Rotem was surrounded by reporters asking about the case when he attended an event at the Australian National University in Canberra on Thursday.

"I won't be providing any comment," he told the reporters. "I told you guys I've got no comment to make about this. When I can, I shall let you know."

Mr Zygier was arrested by Israeli authorities in February 2010 and was held in a maximum security cell under a false name until he died, apparently by his own hand, in December 2010.

It is believed Mr Zygier - also known as Ben Alon and Ben Allen - worked for Israeli spy agency Mossad and was in fact the shadowy figure known as Prisoner X.

Israel on Thursday admitted for the first time it had held a man with dual citizenship under a false name for security reasons. Israeli media reports overnight suggested he was detained for treason.
