Washington, November 21 (RHC)-- Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard has been released from a North Carolina prison after 30 years behind bars.  Pollard is a former U.S. Navy intelligence officer sentenced to life in prison for passing U.S. secrets to Israel.  
 
In 1999, Seymour Hersh of The New Yorker reported Israel was suspected of sharing some of Pollard's material with the Soviet Union in exchange for continued Soviet permission for Jewish emigration to Israel.  
 
He had been granted Israeli citizenship while in prison, and he says he now hopes to move to Israel.  The terms of his parole require him to stay in the United States for five years.
