Soft Target: How the Indian Intelligence Service Penetrated Canada
A provocative look at one of Canada's biggest tragedies
On March 16, 2005, almost twenty years after one of the biggest mass murders in Canadian Aviation history, the Air-India Case concluded with a verdict that authors Zuhair Kashmeri and Brian McAndrew predicted sixteen years ago when Soft Target was first not guilty.
In this second edition, the two offer a detailed foreword that brings readers up-to-date with some startling new information surrounding the twin bombings on June 23, 1985 in the air over the Atlantic, and on the ground in Japan, which left 331 people dead. They offer key details from the trial of Ripudaman Singh Malik and Ajaib Singh Bagri that took place in a specially-built Vancouver courtroom, leads that were not followed up, and more details of India's intelligence service's clandestine interference in Canada. They explain how their own prediction that justice would not be found because of a botched investigation came true, and that only a public inquiry will offer closure to the families of the victims.

Good read but special care must be taken while reading the book as the pro-Khalistan bias of the author is evident from the introduction section itself.
Moreover , references are not given which are essential for a book like this for cross-validation of facts.

Intriguing and insightful. Changes the course of thought regarding the popular notion the official record or propoganda machine had led the common man to believe regarding the Khalistan movement with evidence and an array of characters that were not even known to have been linked to what seems to be 'setting the stage' for such violence.
Just read it. You wont be able to put it down.
