US frees Israeli spy

Jonathan J. Pollard will walk out of prison Nov. 20 after 30 years, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.

Pollard is an American convicted of spying for Israel, RIA Novosti reported.

The former US Navy intelligence officer, now 61, was caught selling classified documents in 1985 and given a life sentence two years later.

The case has been one of the most contentious issues between the two countries for the past 30 years.

Pollard has said he wants to move to Israel to be reunited with his second wife.
