After blowing the lid on the secret identity of Israel's Prisoner X, Foreign Correspondent revealed why Israel went to such extraordinary lengths to keep Melbourne man Ben Zygier and his unexplained offences hidden from public view and scrutiny.

In this follow up to the explosive, global scoop Prisoner X - the Australian Connection we unearthed answers to some persistent questions. What could Zygier have possibly done that called for such measures and why - even after his death - was Israel still determined to keep his activities under wraps.
