The Israeli technician who revealed details of his country's nuclear weapons programme has been re-arrested in Jerusalem.

Mordechai Vanunu was freed earlier this year after serving 18 years in an Israeli prison, but was barred from leaving Israel.

Security sources did not give any reasons for Mr Vanunu's arrest, but said he was under surveillance on suspicion of giving unauthorised interviews to foreign media.
