ON JUNE 18 last year, a white car matched the movement of a pick-up truck driven by Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Canadian national and Sikh activist, as it crossed the car park of the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara in Surrey, British Columbia.
As Nijjar’s truck reached the car park exit the white car cut him off, preventing him from driving out and forcing him to stop. As his vehicle came to a halt, two men on foot approached the driver’s window and shot him, firing around 50 bullets before running off and getting into the white car before it sped away. Nijjar died of his wounds.
We know this because the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) has just released CCTV footage showing the complex and highly organised manoeuvres involved in his assassination. At least six men and two vehicles took part.
