The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation inflated the number of sources providing crucial information about the Air-India disaster in a confidential report provided to the RCMP a few months after the sensational explosions that killed 331 people, B.C. Supreme Court heard Thursday.
The FBI had received information about the Air-India disaster from one source but advised the RCMP that the information had come from several people, retired FBI agent Ron Parrish confirmed in response to questioning by defence lawyer Michael Code.
Testimony about the altered FBI report in 1985 follows an acknowledgment last week that the agency provided a report with “disinformation” concocted by agents about events in 1988.
The FBI included false information in reports provided to Canada in order to disguise the identity of a source, the court was told.
