Several newspapers and radio stations reported that Camper was involved in the Air India bombing of the 1980s, noting that he had trained one of Sikh bombers at his mercenary school. Commando training school is located in Jefferson County, Alabama, about 20 miles west of the Dolomite. Camper says that he does not know the Sikh plan.
On May 21, 1986, Camper was arrested on suspicion of conspiring with two California women: Charlotte Wychoff and Elizabeth Leta Hamilton, to install two car bombs to kill Robyn Richoff and Harriet Russo. The attempt failed. The intended victims were disgruntled Hamilton and Wychoff employees. Camper was sentenced to 14 years in prison for his role in the bombing.
The FBI has admitted that Camper was personally liable in 1985 for saving the life of Rajiv Gandhi, the Prime Minister of India. Prime Minister Gandhi was in the US on a diplomatic mission when the incident took place.
Camper's alive story is allegedly chosen for a movie, but has not been released yet. He has retired and lives in Birmingham, Alabama with his wife.
