-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Police in Canada have arrested three Indian men suspected of
assassinating Canadian Sikh leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar outside a Sikh
temple in British Columbia last year. Nijjar was a prominent leader in a
movement to form an independent Sikh homeland in India. Last week, The
Washington Post revealed senior members of India's spy agency were
directly involved in a foiled plot to kill a prominent Sikh activist who
lives in New York City.
