The US foiled a plot to kill pro-Khalistan American citizen Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, who is wanted in this country and who recently issued a warning to Sikhs not to fly on Air India. The US is also said to have warned the Indian government that it should not have any involvement in such a conspiracy, the Financial Times has reported.
The FT said that details about the secret plan were not known and it was unclear whether the brakes had been slammed on the plot because of the warning or whether it had been a scheme that had been thwarted when it was already in motion.
