Kanishka bombing inquiry report ready, says Canadian panel

Toronto, July 29 - The Canadian public probe into the 1985 Air India bombing that claimed 329 lives is finally complete, the commission of inquiry has said.

Headed by former Canadian chief justice John Major, the commission of inquiry said Tuesday it has completed the final report to be submitted to the government.

All 329 people aboard Air India Kanishka flight 182 from Montreal to Delhi were killed in a mid-air bomb explosion off the Irish coast on June 23, 1985.

A bomb meant for another Air India flight from Tokyo to Mumbai killed two people the same day at Tokyo's Narita airport during the transfer of the luggage which contained the bomb.

Both the bombs had originated in Vancouver and were planted by Sikh radicals to avenge the India Army action at the Golden Temple - the holiest Sikh shrine - in June 1984.

A Vancouver court acquitted two suspects - Ajaib Singh Bagri and Ripudaman Singh Malik - in March 2005, though it named the Sikh radicals for the plot against Air India.

The acquittals led to pressure on the Canadian government to set up a public inquiry in May 2006 to hear the families of the victims and recommend legislative and policy changes to avert future terror attacks.
