American who spied on US for Israel released from prison

Convicted spy Jonathan Pollard has been released from prison, culminating an extraordinary espionage case that complicated American-Israeli relations for 30 years and became a bargaining chip between two allies.

Within hours of his release, Pollard’s lawyers began a court challenge to terms of his parole that they called “onerous and oppressive”, including requiring him to wear an electronic GPS ankle bracelet and the monitoring of any computer he might use personally or at a job.
