Mulroney adviser tried to hide Air India bombing facts, memos suggest - Documents released late Friday suggest a senior adviser in the Mulroney government wanted to keep key facts about the 1985 Air India bombing hidden. [CBC Canada]
The federal Department of Justice produced documents for the inquiry that suggest the Prime Minister's Office, in 1985 and 1986, tried to conceal from the Indian government the fact that the bombing was plotted entirely in Canada.
At the time, the RCMP had already concluded the bombing was planned and orchestrated entirely in Canada. That conclusion was reflected in a report the Aviation Safety Board prepared for India's Kirpal Commission, which was investigating the bombing.
