Subject: On June 22, 1985 two aircraft left Vancouver on the west coast of Canada: one was bound for Japan, the other flew east to Montreal to connect passengers and luggage with Air India 182 to Delhi. Both aircraft carried suitcases containing bombs, one exploded at Narita Airport, killing two baggage-handlers - the other ripped open a jumbo jet over the Irish Sea murdering 329 people. Why did these tragic events take place? How could the security arrangements surrounding international flights have been so easily breached? And who was behind this cruel attack upon innocents that left two nations in mourning and stunned the world? A senior investigative reporter for the Vancouver daily has followed this case from the beginning. His account is an authentic contribution to the history of terrorist activity in our time
