The spotlight focused on Mr. Ostrovski, who also claims to have been an offi- cer in the Israeli navy, when the author held a news con- ference in Toronto last week at which he expressed fear for his life. He said Mossad agents had visited him and threatened him with "the fate of Mordechai Vanunu." Mr. Vanunu, a former technician at Israel's Dimona nuclear facility, was allegedly kidnapped by Israeli agents in Rome in 1986 after giving informa- tion to a British newspaper about Israel's supposed nuclear weapons capabilities. He is now serv- ing a life sentence in solitary confinement. Mr. Ostrovski has gone into hiding. His 300-page book alleges, among other things, that Mossad deliberately withheld advance informa- tion it had of the Shi'ite suicide truck bomb attack that killed nearly 300 U.S. marines deployed at Beirut airport in 1983. The purpose, according to Mr. Ostrovski, was to injure U.S.-Arab relations. IRV & KATE LAWTON ROBERT & ANDI LAWTON Shekel Devalued By Almost 3 Percent Tel Aviv (JTA) — The shekel was reduced by 2.82 percent Monday in its second devaluation since Aug. 29. The Bank of Israel set the new rate of exchange at 2.08 shekels to the dollar, up from 2.032 shekels on Fri- day. The pending move was an- nounced Sunday night by Finance Minister Yitzhak Moda'i and Michael Bruno, governor of the central bank. They had not said what the exact rate of exchange would be, but a 1.5 percent devaluation had been ex- pected. The actual reduction of nearly 3 percent was trig- gered by a $27 million spurt in demand for foreign cur- rency which the Bank of Israel made no effort to meet, unlike recent practice. Under existing regula- tions, the central bank can adjust the value of the shekel daily without Treasury approval, as long as the adjustments range no more than 5 percent above or below the "mean represent- ative rate" of the shekel against foreign currencies.
