Pakistan said it reserved the right to respond, raising the spectre that the back-and-forth could spiral into all-out conflict between the nuclear-armed rivals.

The strikes came amid soaring tensions between the nuclear-armed neighbors over last month's militant attack on tourists in the Indian-controlled portion of Kashmir.

Although diplomatic immunity is meant to be reciprocal between countries, it also means diplomats may never face accountability for alleged criminal actions on foreign soil.

Members of a parliamentary committee have called for an emergency meeting on new allegations of Indian foreign interference in Canada.
