PM says Kanishka bombing was most barbarous act of terror

New Delhi, Jun 23 (PTI) Terming the 1985 Kanishka
bombing as the "most barbarous act," Indian Prime Minister
Manmohan Singh Wednesday said terrorism must be fought and
eliminated with determination and joint action.
"This was a horrific incident which shook the world's
conscience. It is with a sense of deep pain and sorrow that I
join the families and friends in paying my homage to all those
who fell victim to this most barbarous act of terrorism", he
said on the 25th anniversary of the crash of Air India Flight
182.
The Prime Minister, who will be in Canada later this
week in connection with the G-20 Summit, said that no
religion, faith or cause could justify such violence or
inhumanity.
"On this solemn occasion, we must rededicate ourselves to
fighting and eliminating terrorism with determination and
joint action," Singh said.
Air India's Kanishka aircraft had plunged into the
Atlantic on June 23, 1985 after an onboard explosion, killing
all 329 passengers and crew. PTI
