The Man In The Iron Mask?????

He was known as “Prisoner X” - a man held by Israeli authorities in solitary confinement so strict that even his jailers did not know his name or crimes.
His existence was only revealed upon his death in December 2010, when Israeli newspapers carried a brief item saying that a prisoner in the notorious Ayalon jail in the city of Ramla had hung himself in his cell.
Now for the first time, Prisoner X has been named as an Australian national working as a Mossad agent. Ben Zygier, 34, immigrated to Israel in 2000 from Melbourne according to a report broadcast yesterday on Australia’s ABC channel. He married an Israeli woman and fathered two children in the northern Tel Aviv suburb of Ramat Gan.

In early 2010 he committed a crime grave enough to land him in the country’s most secure prison cell. Originally built to house Yigal Amir, who assassinated Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, the location was eventually deemed too severe a punishment and Amir was transferred to another prison where he was allowed visits by his family.

Prisoner X however was given neither legal counsel nor access to any person outside his cell. Minutes after Israeli news sites told of his alleged suicide, Israel’s censorship office ordered them to remove the item and issued one of the strictest gag order ever imposed in the Jewish State. The newspapers were banned from mentioning Prisoner X - and the gag order itself.
