Sabah, a 22-year-old nurse, said the Defense Ministry placed her under surveillance last month after a passerby, drawn by a "for sale" sign on her car, reported that they had seen a CD in it with the handwritten title: "Jericho IV -- Nuclear Modified".

srael is believed to have developed nuclear-tipped missiles known as Jerichos, although the government makes no official comment on the country's nuclear capabilities.

The agents took the CD and have yet to return it, she said.

Shlomo Dror, a Defence Ministry spokesman, confirmed that Sabah had been investigated. When the CD was first spotted in her car, it had been parked near a military base, heightening authorities' suspicions
