Soft Target: How the Indian Intelligence Service Penetrated Canada

By Zuhair Kashmeri and Brian McAndrew

Book Overview

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.

Soft Target..

Brilliant book unleashing facts of Indian and Canadian Intelligence Services. Book is banned in India, for no reason, can't understand though. Anyways, it's quite interesting to read as most of the high profiled Indians withdrew from the Air India flight at last hour which crashed later. Did they knew about this already ? Some good facts and interesting book to read.

The Truth About Air India

Brian McAndrew and Zuhair Kashmeri have done exhaustive and difficult research to compile alternative explanations for the Air India disaster that killed 329 Canadians in 1985.Evidence never released to the public by CSIS or the RCMP is provided in this book that legitimately exposes the role of the Indian government in this heinous crime. A must read for those seeking the truth about Air India.
