Federal agents disrupt skinhead plot to assassinate Obama,
shoot or decapitate 102 black people
WASHINGTON (AP) _ Law enforcement agents have broken up a plot
by two neo-Nazi skinheads to assassinate Democratic presidential
candidate Barack Obama and shoot or decapitate 88 black people,
the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives said Monday.
In court records unsealed Monday in U.S. District Court in Jackson, Tenn.,
federal agents said they disrupted plans to rob a gun store and target
a predominantly African-American high school in a murder spree that
was to begin in Tennessee. Agents said the skinheads did not identify
the school by name.
Jim Cavanaugh, special agent in charge of ATF's Nashville field office,
said the two men planned to kill 88 people, including 14 African-Americans
by beheading. The numbers 88 and 14 are symbolic in the white supremacist community.
The men also sought to go on a national killing spree after the Tennessee murders,
with Obama as its final target, Cavanaugh told The Associated Press.

Two Mid-South men with strong white-supremacy beliefs are in federal
custody after planning to go on a bizarre state-to-state killing spree,
targeting blacks and ending with the assassination of Democratic
presidential candidate Barack Obama, federal authorities said today.
Daniel Cowart, 20, of Bells, Tenn., near Jackson, and Paul Schlesselman,
18, of West Helena, Ark., hatched their violent plan after they met on
the Internet last month and discussed their shared interest in
White Power and Skinhead philosophies. - VIDEO

The campaign against Al Qaeda and its allies is not the United States’
first war on terror. In the American South during the aftermath of the
Civil War, a terrorist organization emerged. Cloaked in ghostly disguise,
it sought to murder and maim in the dead of night as it set out to impose
its ideological agenda. For several years the governmental response was
ineffectual. Finally, in 1871, the U.S. Congress and President Ulysses S. Grant
took action and initiated a new policy in South Carolina. 1871 Oct 12,
President Grant condemned the Ku Klux Klan. (MC, 10/12/01)
