Cork memorial service for Air India bombing anniversary

Relatives of 329 people killed when a bomb blew up an Air India flight off the coast of Cork are to gather on Wednesday to mark the 25th anniversary.
Sikh extremists were blamed for the bombing, which killed mainly Canadians of Indian descent travelling between Montreal and London en route to India.
The families will join Irish foreign affairs minister Micheal Martin at Sheep's Head peninsula in West Cork.
A minute's silence will be held at a monument to the victims. It will be followed by chanting from their relatives and the laying of wreaths.
Mr Martin is expected to be accompanied by Indian minister for corporate affairs Salman Khurshid and Canadian minister for immigration Jason Kenney.
