Police in B.C. say suspect known as ‘Mr. X’ in 1985 Air India bombing is dead
- On June 23, 1985, a bomb detonated on Air India Flight 182 while it was flying over the Atlantic Ocean near Ireland, resulting in the deaths of all 329 people on board and marking the deadliest terrorist attack in Canadian history.
- The bombing was carried out by Khalistani militants in Canada, with charges laid 15 years later and only one manslaughter conviction related to a second bomb on the same day.
- Despite trials, a 2010 official apology, and a 2005 National Day of Remembrance, public awareness remains low, with nine out of 10 Canadians having little to no knowledge of the attack.
- A 2023 Angus Reid poll found 32% of Canadians had never heard of the bombing, 60% of 18-to-34-year-olds were unaware, and 66% support its inclusion in school curricula to preserve memory.
