Jerusalem - A court charged the editor of Israel's second largest tabloid newspaper of wire- tapping, bribery, and paying a witness to keep silent, the Justice Ministry said. The indictment, issued after a year-long investigation, alleges that the editor of Maariv, Ofer Nimrodi, ordered the telephones of his colleagues and those of rival newspaper editors tapped, and bribed a telephone company employee to arrange the bugging.
