More than four decades after the 1985 Air India Flight 182 bombing that killed 329 people, Canada's intelligence agency, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), has officially acknowledged that Canada-based Khalistani extremists were responsible for the attack. The admission confirms India's long-standing position that the bombing was orchestrated by Khalistani terrorists operating from Canadian soil. Flight 182 exploded over the Atlantic Ocean on June 23, 1985, becoming the deadliest terrorist attack in Canadian history and one of the worst aviation bombings globally. The acknowledgement is viewed as a significant shift in Canada's stance and could influence future cooperation between India and Canada on counterterrorism and extremist activities. (PC: X)
