Journalist Yossi Melman, a veteran intelligence analyst, said Friday that he discovered he was placed on Iran's blacklist of 'hostile' figures. He recalled that he was previously approached with an invitation to a dubious meeting in Zurich, which he suspects was an attempt to kidnap or assassinate him. The list, as described by Melman, also includes journalists Amit Segal (N12) and Dr. Edy Cohen, activist Yosef Haddad, and researcher Dr. Raz Zimet. The Zioneer has previously reported on Iran's list of enemies, which Segal confirmed in July. Melman's account adds a new detail about a past attempt to lure him. The report is based on Melman's own statements.
