A reporter with The Province, Salim Jiwa investigated extremist minorities within B.C.'s Sikh community to write The Death of Air India Flight 182, a 1986 study that examines India's political tensions and the terrorist bombing that ripped open a jumbo jet over the Irish Sea, murdering 329 people in 1985.

For Margin of Terror: A Reporter's Twenty-Year Odyssey Covering the Tragedies of the Air India Bombing (Key Porter $24.95), co-written with screenwriter Donald J. Hauka, Salim Jiwa updated his 1985 book about the two Air India bombings with new information about the 20-year Air India investigation and the 19-month trial that resulted in a verdict of not guilty for the accused in 2005. In late April of 2006, Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced a new public probe into the Air India bombings.
