Rift escalating between Canada and India over the killing of a prominent Canadian Sikh activist
45-year-old Hardeep Singh Nijjar left India for Canada in 1997 and became a prominent Sikh leader in the province of British Columbia
He publicly campaigned for Khalistan, the creation of an independent Sikh homeland in the Punjab region of India.
Just this year, Nijjar was working on an un-official worldwide vote by Sikhs on whether they support separating from India.
Canadian media reported he had received threats in the past because of his activism.

Libya flooding: Recovering and identifying the dead in Derna – BBC News
A week after catastrophic floods devastated the Libyan city of Derna, rescue teams are continuing to recover dead bodies.
The UN says the death toll so far stands at some 11,300. The final total remains unclear - although the one thing that is certain is the sheer scale of this catastrophe.
More than 10,000 people remain officially missing, according to figures from the UN's Office for the Co-Ordination of Humanitarian Affairs.

4,000 dead, 9,000 missing: What are Libyan authorities doing? | DW News
One week on from Libya's devasting floods, the UN is warning about two more dams in the east, that could burst near Benghazi. The UN's humanitarian office says the dams are under massive pressure, after torrential rains. Local authorities say both dams are in good condition.
Residents in Derna say similar warnings went unheeded for years, before two dams ruptured last week, releasing a wall of water, that swept whole neighborhoods out to sea. The World Health Organization says nearly 4,000 people have been counted dead, and 9,000 are still missing. The aid effort is gathering pace.
