Kanishka probe panel seeks cooperation of victims' kin

Toronto : The John Major Inquiry Commission has urged relatives of the victims of the 1985 Air India bombing to set aside differences over procedure, reminding them that the success of his probe depends on their cooperation.

Justice Major said he would grant full standing to some 39 families living in India, who were related to the crew members or passengers on boardKanishka, observing they ``suffered the same loss.''

The Commission accepted the Canadian Attorney-General's plea for legal standing in the inquiry to protect disclosure of information that "would be injurious to international relations, national defence or national security." — PTI
