Judge Bars Book
By Ex-Mossad Agent

Toronto (JTA) — Acting on
a petition from the Israeli
government, a Canadian
judge has barred publication
of a "tell-all" book written
by a former agent of the
Mossad, Israel's foreign in-
telligence agency.
The former agent, Victor
Ostrovski, 40, a dual Cana-
dian- Israeli citizen, has
meanwhile gone into hiding.
By his own account, two
high-ranking members of
the Mossad visited him at
his Ottawa home last week
and told him that publica-
tion of the book would put
him "in all kinds of danger."
Among the allegations in
the book is that the Mossad
knew in advance that
Lebanese terrorists were go-
ing to bomb the barracks of
the U.S. Marines in Beirut
in October 1983. The attack
claimed 239 lives.
Mr. Ostrovski's book, By
Way of Deception: A Dev-
astating Insider's Portrait of
the Mossad, was to be
published in early October.
The publishers were inform-
ed last Friday that the
Israeli government had ob-
tained a Canadian court
order to prevent this from
happening.
A spokesman for the
Israeli Embassy in Ottawa
denied knowing anything
about either Mr. Ostrovski
or the book. But reports from
Jerusalem appear to confirm
that the government asked
for the publication to be held

up, pending a hearing on
Sept. 17.
Nelson Doucet, vice presi-
dent of Stoddart Publishing
Co. Ltd. in Toronto, told the
Globe and Mail that he con-
siders it incredible that a
Canadian judge could stop
publication without know-
ing the contents of the book.
The company has not
decided whether to fight the
order in court.
Mr. Ostrovski, a Canadian
native who has been wopk-
ing as a graphic artist, told
reporters Friday that he had
served in the Mossad from
1984 to 1986 and that he was
previously an officer in the
Israeli navy.
The Globe and Mail quoted
him as saying he wrote the
book out of "anger, rage,
disappointment, love of
Israel, belief in justice." He
also said he believes
publishing the book could
save lives.

Mr. Ostrovski, a father of
two, said the Mossad agents
who visited him last week
said they would repay him
for any costs he had incurred
writing the book, as long as
he agreed not to publish it.
He said he fled his home
after their Sept. 5 visit,
spent the night at the air-
port waiting for a flight to
Toronto and has been lying
low ever since. He said he
fears Mossad agents will
kidnap him and take him to
Israel.

Britain Snubs PLO,Urges
Palestinian-Israeli Talks

London (JTA) — For the
first time, the British
government is advocating
talks between Israel and Pa-
lestinian Arabs without any
specific role for the Palestine
Liberation Organization.
This unexpected and
rather dramatic develop-
ment follows a decision by
the foreign secretary,
Douglas Hurd, to suspend
ministerial discussions with
the PLO because of its sup-
port for Iraqi President
Saddam Hussein's occupa-
tion of Kuwait.
Hurd said he would not au-
thorize any further meetings
unless the PLO dropped its
support for Baghdad.
During his visit to the Gulf
states this week, Hurd em-
phasized to their rulers a
significant change in British
policy. He is said to have

made the point that the
British government favored
meetings between Israelis
and Palestinian Arabs, even
while the Gulf crisis was be-
ing resolved.

He did not mention the
PLO.
Whenever the question of
settling the Arab-Israeli con-
flict arose in the past in
talks between British min-
isters, there was agreement
that a role must be given the
PLO, and this was specifical-
ly stated.

In view of the PLO's sup-
port for Saddam Hussein
and PLO chief Yassir
Arafat's strenuous efforts to
prevent joint Arab action
against him, the Gulf states
are not thought to have voic-
ed any protests at Hurd's
omission of the PLO.
