The inquiry looking into the 1985 Air India bombing will be told Monday that government agencies were warned a number of times an airline attack was imminent, the CBC has learned.

The official line has been that the government knew of no such information, a key issue for the victims' families. Many of them testified last fall that Canadian law enforcement agencies had to know much more than they've let on, the CBC's Terry Milewski reported Sunday.

Jayashree Thampi, whose husband and daughter were among the 329 people killed, told the inquiry on Sept. 26, 2006: "In spite of prior warnings, the intelligence and the security agencies failed to prevent this tragedy. How did the system fail?"

For 22 years, the official storyline has been that the system did not fail because there were no specific warnings. But the inquiry — resuming Monday after lengthy wrangling over official secrecy — is about to hear of a months-long series of specific warnings about a coming attack on Air India.
