FBI Warns US Khalistani Elements of Life Risk After Nijjar Killing

The FBI reportedly warned Khalistani elements in the US about potential threats to their lives following the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada. Nijjar, the chief of the banned Khalistan Tiger Force, was shot dead outside a gurdwara in Surrey, British Columbia, in June. The FBI visited Sikh Americans in California and informed them of the potential danger, although they did not disclose the source of the threat. Canadian intelligence officials had also warned Khalistani elements about the risk to their lives prior to Nijjar's killing. The diplomatic standoff between India and Canada ensued after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused India of involvement in the matter, which India rejected as "absurd" and "motivated."
