Fox News' Peter Doocy provides details on President Biden's latest gaffe on the world stage, when he appeared to lose track of events during a press conference with the prime minister of India.
An Indian government official accused of directing a foiled plot to murder a Sikh separatist leader living in New York City has been charged, federal prosecutors said Thursday.
Vikash Yadav, 39, also known as Vikas and Amanat, is a former officer in India's Research and Analysis Wing spy service and remains at-large, according to an unsealed indictment.
Authorities allege he directed the plot from India.
"The defendant, an Indian government employee, allegedly conspired with a criminal associate and attempted to assassinate a U.S. citizen on American soil for exercising their First Amendment rights," said FBI Director Christopher Wray.
