Air India bombing convict applies for parole

Vancouver: The only man convicted in the Air India bombing is applying for parole just months before he's to face a perjury charge.
The National Parole Board will set a hearing date for next month for Inderjit Singh Reyat. He faces a perjury charge in May for testimony he gave during the Air India bombing trial in which two men were acquitted in the 1985 terror attack.
Reyat's statutory release date was in June last year and by law, all parolees have annual detention reviews after they've passed that release date.
A board turned down Reyat's bid for parole last March, saying Reyat tried to downplay his role in the airliner bombing which killed 329 people.
