Two bags. Two flights. Both departing Vancouver en route to India with stops in Tokyo and London.
Two explosions. One on the ground in Tokyo, the other in the air off the coast of Ireland.
Three hundred thirty-one innocent people — dead.
Twenty years...two suspects. A 19-month trial. One hundred fifteen witnesses. Three weeks of closing arguments. The longest, costliest trial in Canadian history.
Zero convictions.
Margin of Terror is a compulsively readable portrait of the innocent victims and of the heartbroken families and friends for whom the dreams of justice and closure remain bitterly unfulfilled.
This book sparked my newfound passion of countries forgotten "9/11". His story was one for the ages, I grew up in the neighbourhoods mentioned in the book, Ive booked tickets from the travel agency that sold the bombers tickets. This story is so close to home and I am so thankful Jiwa was able to write a novel so informative about a topic that has tragically been suppressed by our country.
