From Times Staff and Wire Reports
The Israeli government decided not to seek an extension of an injunction that banned publication of a book by a former intelligence agent. The decision means the book, “By Way of Deception: The Making and Unmaking of a Mossad Officer,” by Victor Ostrovsky, could be on Canadian bookstore shelves by the end of the month. An American court ruled to allow the book’s publication and sale, making the Canadian case largely moot.
