On the 23rd of June, 1985 Air India flight 182 was blown up over the Atlantic Ocean by a bomb placed on board by Khalistani Terrorists.  These terrorists operated out of Canada and wanted a separate Sikh homeland.  Their fight for power within the Global Sikh establishment led them to kill innocent Hindu's and even Sikhs under the pretence of a being protestors of the Sikh faith.   The flight disintegrated mid-air and killed all 329 passengers, made up of 24 Indian nationals, 268 Canadians and 27 British.  However the passengers were predominantly Hindu's and Sikh that had migrated to those countries earlier.  It came to be the Largest Mass Killing in Canadian History.  

Amongst the dead were up to 86 children and 29 entire families.  Other children were orphaned as a result of the event.  The trial went on for 22 years and cost the Canadian taxpayer $130 million.  In the end only one person was actually convicted Inderjit Singh Reyat, a Canadian national and a member of the IYSF.  He only recieved a sentence of 15 years for having made the bombs that exploded on Flight 182 and at Narita Airport.  A subsequent report did conclude that the Canadian Government, Canadian Security Forces and the Royal Mounted Police had allowed the attack to take place given their grave errors.
