White House: Reported Indian intelligence role in assassination plots 'a serious matter'
- Country:
- United States
The White House on Monday said it viewed the reported role of the Indian intelligence service in two assassination plots in Canada and the United States as a serious matter. The Washington Post on Monday reported that an officer in India's intelligence service was directly involved in a foiled plan to assassinate a U.S. citizen and one of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's most vocal critics in the United States, and the separate shooting death of a Sikh activist last June in Canada.
"This is a serious matter, and we're taking that very, very seriously," White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters. "We're going to continue to raise our concerns."
