Kanishka trial resumes

Vancouver Sept. 9. The Kanishka trial has resumed with prosecutors trying to outline the alleged plot by Sikh extremists to blow up the aircraft which crashed off the Irish Coast in June 1985 killing all 329 people onboard.

Two critical factors will establish the motive for the bombings, the Government Prosecutor, Robert Wright, told the British Columbia Trial Judge yesterday. One factor, Mr. Wright said, was the fundamental belief in establishing the independent state of Khalistan and the other was to exact revenge against the Government of India for a raid on the Golden Temple in 1984, media reports quoted him as saying. — PTI
