International Investigation Unveils Global Conspiracy to Target Sikh Leaders

U.S. prosecutors have revealed that a foiled plot to assassinate a Sikh separatist leader in New York was part of a larger campaign of planned killings. The organizers of the plot discussed targeting individuals in California and Canada, in addition to the victim in New York. The goal was to kill at least four people by June 29, with plans for more afterwards. The plot was uncovered when the hitman turned out to be an undercover U.S. agent. The U.S. attorney in Manhattan has charged one individual and stated that the plot was directed by an official in the Indian government, although the official was not named or charged in the indictment. The Indian government has denied any involvement in the killings.
