Racism charge denied

Toronto: Rejecting charges that racism was a factor behind delay in probe into the 1985 bombing of Air India's Kanishka flight that left 329 persons dead, a senior Canadian police officer has said they were ``absolutely dedicated'' to solving the case. He was commenting on Friday on the question of race, which has been mentioned several times at the Air India Inquiry Commission investigating the terrorist plot, given that the majority of the 329 victims were Canadians of Indian-origin. Some family members have been asking why some of the material coming out at the inquiry has not come out before, even during the criminal trial. — PTI
