FBI: Pollard passed info to Pakistan and Australia
By JPOST.COM STAFF

According to new evidence released by the FBI on Monday, Jonathan Pollard not only passed classified information on to Israel, but also to Pakistan and Australia.

In a presentation given by FBI agent Ronald Olive, which was broadcast on Channel 10, it was revealed that Pollard was also involved illegally in arms sales to Taiwan, France, Kenya, Afghanistan, and Argentina.

In his report, Olive made no mention of what type of information Pollard passed to Australia and Pakistan, nor of how it was transferred.

Olive also said the FBI had initially believed Pollard was spying for the Russians, and that they'd had no idea at the time that Israel was involved or that Pollard was even Jewish.

Missed red flags on Israeli spy

"The Navy counter-intelligence officer who garnered a confession from Israeli spy Jonathon Pollard says that U.S. agencies missed a forest of red flags about him and risk repeating the same mistakes today they made more than 20 years ago.

Ron Olive, the investigator who debriefed Pollard in 1985, says in a new book that 'The warning indicators and the problems were clear from the beginning of (Pollard`s) career' and even before, and that his bizarre behavior should have prevented him from ever working for the U.S. government.

'It`s a wake-up call to U.S. intelligence today,' he told United Press International, about his account: 'Capturing Jonathon Pollard,' published by the Naval Institute Press.

The book discloses what Olive says are fresh details about the sensational spy case -- a whirlwind 11-day-long investigation which eventually revealed that Pollard passed 36,000 cubic feet of 'the most classified intelligence material the United States possesses' to his Israeli handlers."
