New York, Nov 30:Khalistan supporter and Indian citizen, Balwinder Singh admitted in a federal court that he conspired with terrorists to launch attacks in India to target a government official for assassination or maiming, according to officials.

 
 The terrorist sympathiser is an official Green Card holder,  and made the admission before Federal Judge Larry R. Hicks in Reno, Nevada state, on Tuesday  where he admitted that he was a co-conspirator with night vision goggles for the planned attack as a part of their terrorist conspiracy.
 
Singh's conspiracy "was part of a movement to create an independent Sikh state in Punjab", according to a statement by the prosecutors."Singh attempted to provide material support and resources to terrorists to create violence and disruption abroad," said acting Assistant Attorney General Mary McCord.
 
Identifying, thwarting and holding accountable individuals who pursue international terrorism is a top priority of the Department of Justice and the Prosecutors said the conspirators were to decide on the government official to be targeted after one of them reached India.
 
Singh's co-conspirators in the plot uncovered by US officials in 2013 were not identified.
But prosecutors said the law enforcement officials caught one of them in San Francisco on December 9, 2013 while trying to board a flight to Bangkok on way to India to carry the terror attack. But the quick reaction prevented the attack from taking place. 
 
 
Singh and the co-conspirators, however, continued to plan terror attacks to be carried out in India till he was arrested on December 17, 2013, according to prosecutors.
 
The 42 year old Khalistani supporter has various aliases  such as Jhaji, Happy, Possi and Baljit Singh and has been lodged in a jail since his arrest. If convicted he will be sentenced of 15 years starting Friday, the day of his conviction.
