U.S. set to release ex-spy Pollard

NEW YORK -- Former spy Jonathan Pollard is set to be released from a federal prison in North Carolina on Friday, 30 years after he was caught selling American intelligence secrets to Israel. But he'll be on a short leash as he rebuilds his life as a free man. Pollard, 61, was given a life sentence in 1987 in a case that has complicated diplomacy between the two countries. He's expected to settle in the New York area while he spends at least the next five years on parole. He will be barred him from traveling outside the country, including to Israel, without permission. Pollard, a former civilian intelligence analyst for the Navy, was arrested in 1985. He pleaded guilty a year later.
