THE RCMP are still doggedly pursuing the Air India investigation – 31 years after that horrendous mass murder when the bombing of Air India Flight 182 on June 23, 1985, off the coast of Ireland killed 329 people and the Narita airport explosion in the luggage meant for another Air India plane in Japan on the same day killed two baggage handlers.
Staff-Sgt. Rob Vermeulen, Senior Media Relations Officer, BC RCMP Communication Services, told The VOICE on Tuesday: “Over the last 31 years, the Air India investigation is the longest and certainly one of the most complex domestic terrorism investigations that the RCMP has undertaken. The RCMP continues to investigate with the objective of pursuing charges of any individuals involved in the bombings.”
He added: “This investigation is a national priority for the RCMP.”
Vermeulen said the Air India team “is a dedicated investigative team within E-INSET (E-Integrated National Security Enforcement Team that consists of a large number of police investigators).”
A year ago, RCMP Sgt. Annie Linteau had told me that the RCMP “have continuously worked with various international police agencies in Europe, Asia and North America, who have been extremely cooperative.”
And back in 2014, the RCMP had told me that they still had six full-time officers and an analyst investigating the two bombings.
