No need for probe into possible leak of Air India witness name: Reporter

Vancouver: There's no need for an investigation into whether a government official leaked the identity of a potential witness in the Air India bombing case, says the reporter who broke the story.
Vancouver Sun reporter Kim Bolan told The Canadian Press on Saturday that there was no leak from anyone and that the story was done on her own initiative.
The Liberals demanded Friday that Prime Minister Stephen Harper's office look into whether anyone in government or law enforcement provided that confidential "security information" to the Sun.
"The story was not a plant by anybody," Bolan said. "All this talk of plants by the government or the RCMP is ludicrous.
"Nobody has disputed a single element of the story because it's true," said Bolan, who has covered the Air India case since the tragedy in 1985.
Bolan said it's ridiculous that politicians are reacting as if the information is some kind of security breach. She said anyone who has covered the Air India case in any detail has the information.
The prime minister himself referred to the Sun article in the House of Commons last week.
