A Jewish immigrant from Yugoslavia was sentenced Monday by a Haifa court to three years in prison for spying for the Palestine Liberation Organization.

Victoria David, 34, who came to Israel in 1987, also drew a three-year suspended sentence.

She pleaded guilty on March 5 to charges of passing information to the enemy, conspiring to gather information for the enemy and membership in an illegal organization.

David allegedly was recruited in 1985 by Al Fatah in her native Yugoslavia. She was accused of photographing military installations.
