US agents have broken up a plot to assassinate Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and shoot or decapitate 102 black people in a murder spree in the state of Tennessee.
Jim Cavanaugh, special agent in charge of the Nashville field office for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said the two men planned to shoot 88 black people and decapitate another 14.
The men also sought to go on a national killing spree, with Mr Obama as their final target, Mr Cavanaugh said.
What's that with Americans and killing presidents? Granted Obama isn't one yet, but should be soon. Seems he's about to share the fate of Abraham Lincoln, James Garfield, William McKinley and John Kennedy.
