The US didn't inform or take permission from Pakistan to send in SEAL Team 6 to kill him. Nijjar was wanted for the murder of 6 innocent people in a cinema hall bombing in Punjab, India. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] merc@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago Nijjar was wanted As in, was a suspect? I assume he was never tried? The US didn’t inform or take permission from Pakistan to send in SEAL Team 6 to kill him. Yes, the US gets to throw their weight around because nobody wants to go to war against them. It doesn't make it right. permalink fedilink source parent [–] san_man@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago* If you're a Canadian citizen, and see Canada as your homeland, then why would you be trying to carve out a homeland elsewhere on the other side of the world for yourself? Could it be that he was just using Canada as his base of operations? If I claim that you and I are happily married, then wouldn't it be a little suspicious if I'm dating other women and posting ads saying I'm looking for a new girlfriend? That guy entered Canada on a false passport, while he was wanted on an Interpol Red Corner notice. He then tried to gain citizenship by marrying some young girl, but authorities rejected his lame attempt. But then somehow he was later granted citizenship. Maybe the citizenship process isn't all it's cracked up to be - and maybe the existing Canadian citizenry are being shortchanged as a result? Also, after gaining citizenship, that guy didn't settle down into a quiet life, and was running a training camp to train Sikh youth on how to fire high-powered sniper rifles. These things sound like very odd things to do for a happy, well-adjusted Canadian citizen. permalink fedilink source parent
