Hamas leader's son 'was Israeli spy'

The son of a founding member of the Palestinian militant group, Hamas, has said he worked as a spy for Israel for more than ten years.

In a new book, Mosab Hassan Yousef describes how he began to supply intelligence to Israel's internal security service after being released from custody in 1996.

He told the BBC's Lyse Doucet why he is telling his story now.
