India conspiracy
The book claims that within hours after the flight was blown up, The Globe and Mail received a call from Toronto Indian Consul General Surinder Malik with a detailed description of the bombing and the names of those he said were involved. Malik claimed his source was the Indian intelligence network, which had traced the methods of planting the bombs and the identity of the culprits.[3]
Use by Security Intelligence Review Committee
Canada's Security Intelligence Review Committee (SIRC) investigated Soft Target's description of events surrounding Flight 182 and concluded "the CSIS information it examined was insufficient to establish a conspiracy against Air India sponsored by foreign governments, in particular the Government of India."[4]
