The The Sunday Times is a British newspaper. It struck a deal with Oscar Guerrero to publish Mordecai Vanunu story and photographs of Israel nuclear facility. The arrangement included a £250,000 advance for Mordecai Vanunu on a book about Israel nuclear capability, with Oscar Guerrero receiving a 10% cut.1
Mordecai Vanunu flew to London and was put up in various hotels while giving interviews to The The Sunday Times.
