Canada spy agency pulled out its mole just ahead of Air India Kanishka bombing
One of the worst terror incidents linked to an airline is the 1985 Air India Kanishka bombing by Khalistani terrorists. Over 300 people, mostly Canadians, were killed in the mid-air bomb blast.
It is a known fact that the Canadian government ignored intelligence alerts from India on an imminent terrorist attack. What isn’t known widely is that the Canadian intelligence agency CSIS had a mole among the terrorists, and removed the person just ahead of the bombing incident.
On Monday, Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun warned of an attack on Air India between November 1 and 19, and asked people not to fly on its planes. The threat by Pannun, a dual American-Canadian citizen, came ahead of the 40th anniversary of the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.
The Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) had a mole in the 1985 Air India Flight 182 bombing, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) reported citing a Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) document. The RCMP is the federal police of Canada.
The CSIS “pulled out” the mole at the last moment to save the mole from getting implicated, the CBC said in 2003. The report states had this information been revealed on time, it could have saved the lives of 329 people who died in the Air India Kanishka bombing. Khalistani terrorists used explosives to blow up a Canada-UK-India flight over the Atlantic on June 23, 1985.
The 2003 report has resurfaced amid tense Indo-Canadian ties and threats from Khalistani elements. The Canadian government “targeted” Indian officials as “persons of interest” in the investigation into the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
The documents were transcripts of questioning done by the RCMP of Ajaib Singh Bagri, a sawmill worker and a Kanishka bombing accused after he was arrested in October 2000. It was also released in the trial of Ripudaman Singh Malik, a millionaire radio station owner in Vancouver and another accused.
Both were charged in the murder of passengers and crew on Air India Flight 182.
Another reason for the resurfacing of the report is that the Kanishka bombing was planned by Khalistani terrorists. The Justin Trudeau administration has been accused of not acting against Khalistani elements.
There’s another question that pops up. Did the CSIS, which was formed in 1984, bungle everything as it was a rookie agency?
THE CANADIAN SPY AGENCY HAD A MOLE IN THE KANISHKA BOMBING, CLAIMED REPORT
“Documents just released by the RCMP suggest the Canadian Security and Intelligence Service had a mole in the plot to bomb Air India,” said the CBC report.
