Federal Officials have arrested two young men who plan to assassinate Senator Barack Obama during a “killing spree” of some 100 African-Americans, officials said Monday.
The two men planned to kill some 88 people and decapitate 14 African-Americans, before in a final act assassinating Obama, bidding to be the country’s first black president, court documents revealed Monday.
Federal officials said they regarded the scheme as “serious.” It does not appear to have moved to an advanced stage, according to court documents unsealed Monday, but officials said the two men did acquire several rifles and cased a home and a gun store to rob as part of the plan.
The Obama campaign declined to comment on the case.
