A Khalistan supporter has admitted in a federal court that he conspired with terrorists to launch attacks in India, said officials, to target a government official for assassination or maiming.
Balwinder Singh, an Indian citizen holding a Green Card, made the admission before Federal Judge Larry R Hicks in Reno, Nevada state, on Tuesday (29 November) that he provided a co-conspirator with night-vision goggles for the planned attack as a part of their terrorist conspiracy.
Singh's conspiracy "was part of a movement to create an independent Sikh state in Punjab", according to a statement by the prosecutors. The conspirators were to decide on the government official to be targeted after one of them reached India, said the prosecutors.
