An Israeli government draft report is blaming a “serious systemic failure” for the handling of Prisoner X, the Australian man recruited by Mossad and who eventually died in an Israeli prison cell.

Ben Zygier was found hanged to death in his cell in December, 2010, even though he was supposedly under 24 hour surveillance.

The report prepared by the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee announced its Subcommittee for Intelligence looked into the way Zygier was recruited to work for Mossad, his handling in the spy organization, and his jailing.

The fingers appear to be pointing at Mossad’s personnel department, especially those responsible for selecting and screening candidates, but those responsible in the Prisoner X case are no longer with the agency.
