In it Ostrovsky describes a tremendously important Mossad operation involving a communications device that was planted deep inside enemy territories. The device acted as a relay station for misleading transmissions made by the Mossad, transmissions intended to be received by American and British listening stations. The digital transmissions originated from an Israeli ship at sea and were picked up only by this communications device, known as the "Trojan". The device would then rebroadcast the transmissions on another frequency—one used for outgoing official messages from the enemy country being targeted. The Trojan was planted in Libya on the night of 17-18 February 1987 by the Mossad, operating from Israeli boats in the Mediterranean. The goal was to plant the Libyan communications. According to Ostrovsky, Operation Trojan was one of Israeli intelligence's greatest successes. It resulted in Libya being falsely blamed for virtually every ter- rorist attack for nearly a decade, including the La Belle discotheque bombing in West Berlin on 5 April 1987. Ostrovsky's book has certainly upset the Israelis, with public calls for his assassina- tion being made by several prominent offi- cials, including Josef Lapid, the director- general of Israel's government-owned national broadcasting system.

(Source: The Other Side of Deception, The Spotlight, 28 November 1994) Researchers at the University of Adelaide and Queen Elizabeth Hospital Genetics Department, led by Dr Judy Ford, studied the exposure to environmental and chemical factors of 585 couples from pre- conception to live birth, miscarriage or nine months’ infertility between 1987 and 1991. The researchers identified a range of risk factors which had a significant effect on infertility and miscarriage, isolating a num- ber of risk factors. Men who, in the previous five years, had an unprotected X-ray of the lower back (no lead apron) with genitals exposed, were 428 per cent more at risk of being associat- ed with miscarriage than those in a control group. (The normal miscarriage rate is 15 per cent of all pregnancies.) The study found also that men and women exposed to chemical solvents such as household cleaning agents, oven clean- ers, carpet cleaners, oil paints, glues, and other chemicals in the workplace, were far more at risk of infertility, miscarriage or birth deformity.
