Pollard, who is serving a life sentence in a US prison told investigators he had been asked foremost for information on Arab or Pakistani nuclear programs and "Arab exotic weaponry," AFP cited a top secret CIA document as saying.

"The Israelis never expressed interest in US military activities, plans, capabilities or equipment," it said.
The documents were published by the National Security Archive at George Washington University on Friday.
