THE TELEGRAPH: A white supremacist from Tennessee has pleaded guilty to plotting to assassinate US President Barack Obama as part of a killing spree targeting African Americans.
Daniel Cowart, 21, was arrested just days before Mr Obama was elected the first black president of the United States on November 4, 2008.
Cowart and fellow skinhead Paul Schlesselman told police that they planned to kill 88 people, beheading 14 of them, and then die in a blaze of glory as they drove towards Mr Obama dressed in white tuxedos and firing out the windows.
While officials said the pair posed no real threat to Mr Obama, the arrest heightened fears about the Democrat's safety in the final days of his campaign. >>> | Tuesday, March 30, 2010
