Two cleared of Air India bombing
A Canadian judge today acquitted two Indian-born Sikhs of murder and other charges relating to the deaths of 331 people in bomb outrages on an Air India plane over the Atlantic and at Tokyo’s airport 20 years ago.
After a two-year trial, British Columbia Supreme Court Justice Ian Josephson said the prosecution’s key witnesses were not credible. The bombings represented the deadliest terrorist strike before the 9/11 attacks and were Canada’s worst case of mass murder.
