http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=worldNews&storyID=4889124§ion=newsIsraeli prison authorities put the release of nuclear whistleblower Mordechai Vanunu on hold on Wednesday in a dispute over conditions for setting him free after 18 years in jail, officials said.
"He has refused to give us his place of residence (after his release) and until he does so he will not be freed," a Prisons Authority spokesman said.
Vanunu, 49, was due to be released in the southern coastal city of Ashkelon at 11 am (4 a.m. EDT) on Wednesday after serving his full prison term for revealing Israel's nuclear secrets to a British newspaper.
