Canadian officials are investigating threats against Air India after videos surfaced of a Sikh separatist leader warning against flying with the airline. The threats came from Sikhs for Justice head Gurpatwant Singh Pannun. Canada's transportation minister said they take all aviation threats seriously. India has raised the issue with Canada, condemning such terrorist threats. The warnings are reminiscent of the 1985 Air India bombing that killed 329 people. Indian intelligence views the threats seriously despite doubts over the group's capacity.
