162 pages. Index. "In the 1980s the Indian government has been conducting a covert intelligence operation in Canada. This operation has involved the deception both of Canadian security forces and the Canadian government, and led to one of the most horrific acts of modern terrorism - the killing of 329 people in the Air India bombing of 1985. These are the conclusions of this startling, shocking book. Guides the reader through the byzantine politics of Sikh nationalism and the shadowy world of international espionage. In its convincing analysis of events leading to and following the Air India bombing, it shows who was pulling the strings and who was made the fool. Zuhair Kashmeri and Brian McAndrew are reporters with the Globe and Mail and Toronto Star respectively." - from back cover. Black and white illustrations. Clean and unmarked with moderate wear.

About this title

Synopsis

A provocative look at one of Canada's biggest tragedies
On March 16, 2005, almost twenty years after one of the biggest mass murders in Canadian Aviation history, the Air-India Case concluded with a verdict that authors Zuhair Kashmeri and Brian McAndrew predicted sixteen years ago when Soft Target was first published: not guilty.
In this second edition, the two offer a detailed foreword that brings readers up-to-date with some startling new information surrounding the twin bombings on June 23, 1985 in the air over the Atlantic, and on the ground in Japan, which left 331 people dead. They offer key details from the trial of Ripudaman Singh Malik and Ajaib Singh Bagri that took place in a specially-built Vancouver courtroom, leads that were not followed up, and more details of India's intelligence service's clandestine interference in Canada. They explain how their own prediction that justice would not be found because of a botched investigation came true, and that only a public inquiry will offer closure to the families of the victims.
