(AP) Eric Tucker - Attorneys for convicted spy Jonathan Pollard said Tuesday the U.S. has granted his parole after 30 years in prison for spying for Israel. He is due to be released in November. They said the decision followed a parole hearing earlier this month before the U.S. Parole Commission. Pollard, 60, has been imprisoned since November 1985 for selling classified information to Israel. Supporters argued that he was punished excessively given that he spied for a country that's a U.S. ally.
