'Documents uncovered by Newsnight in the British National Archives
show how, in 1958, Britain agreed to sell Israel 20 tonnes of heavy
water, a vital ingredient for the production of plutonium at Israel's
top secret Dimona nuclear reactor in the Negev desert.
Robert McNamara, President John F Kennedy's defence secretary, has
told Newsnight he is "astonished" at the revelation that Britain kept
this secret from America.'
