How do we prevent another disaster like the bombing of Air India flight 182 from ever happening again?
This was the question at the heart of the Inquiry into the Air India bombing and the investigation that dragged on with little result for decades after the attack.
Blake Bromley was called as an expert witness at the Inquiry, and was asked to comment in the media when the final report were released on Thursday, June 17 – only days away from the 25th anniversary of the bombing.
On the day of the release, Blake was on CBC’s On The Coast with Stephen Quinn. Blake pointed out that anti-terrorism laws came into effect after Sept, 2001, but not after Canada’s own terrorist disaster in June, 1985. In the interview find out how much money the attack cost the Air India bombers.
Find the interview at the On The Coast site and scroll down to Thursday, June 17.
On Friday he appeared on the Christy Clark show on CKNW to discuss the report and the prevalence of charities being used to funnel money for terrorist acts — whether or not the donors are aware of the destination.
