A grand plot to assassinate the US presidential hopeful and candidate of the Democratic Party has been foiled.
It is the second attempt on Obama since he clinched the party's presidential ticket, ahead of his arch-rival, Hilary Clinton.
The announcement by US government that it had disrupted a plot to assassinate Barack Obama on Monday, has once again brought to the fore the unwillingness of the white supremacist to concede power to blacks in America.

'The white supremacist are quite uncomfortable with the idea of a black president in the USÓ, a source said on Monday.
At least, two white men are said to have been arrested by the American security agents.

The agents said they broke up plans by two "neo-Nazi skinheads" to rob a gun store and threaten a predominantly African-American high school, unsealed court records have revealed.

The records did not specify which school was alleged to have been threatened.
The agents said the alleged attackers also threatened to shoot or decapitate 102 black people in the state of Tennessee.

Court records have revealed agents said they broke up plans to rob a gun store and threaten a predominantly African-American high school.
A source said the youth's alleged threat following the release of court records "does not make it a credible threat" to Mr Obama's life.

He said: "The youths are said to have threatened to shoot 88 blacks and decapitate 14 in Tennessee, before going out in a 'blaze of glory'."

"It is not necessarily a credible threat to the senator's life. But eight days before an election, clearly something like this will be taken very seriously."
The US government disrupted an unrelated alleged plot during the Democratic Party Convention in Denver, Colorado, in September.

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.

Daniel Cowart, 20, and Paul Schlesselman, 18, were arrested Wednesday in Tennessee for possession of firearms, threats against a candidate running for president and conspiring to rob a gun store, the Department of Justice said.

The men began "discussing going on a 'killing spree' that included killing 88 people and beheading 14 African Americans," Brian Weaks, an agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives told a Memphis court Monday.

"They further stated that their final act of violence would be to attempt to kill/assassinate presidential candidate Barack Obama," he added, as the two men appeared before the federal court.

The Obama campaign declined to comment on the case.

Cowart, from Bells, Tennessee, and Schlesselman, from Arkansas, met via the Internet a month ago and have "very strong beliefs and views regarding 'White Power' and 'Skinhead' views," Weaks told the court.

Cowart had bought one rifle and stockpiled two handguns, both stolen from his grandfather. Schlesselman also had a short-barrelled shotgun and a revolver which he said he had taken from his father without permission.

The pair planned to steal another high-powered rifle from a gun store in Jackson, Tennessee, as well as a series of robberies to finance their bloody plan.

"Schlesselman stated that they planned to drive their vehicles as fast as they could toward Obama shooting at him from the windows," Weaks said.

"Both individuals stated they would dress in all white tuxedos and wear top hats during the assassination attempt. Both individuals further stated they knew they would and were willing to die during this attempt."

Acting US Attorney for western district of Tennessee, Lawrence Laurenzi, said, "The allegations set forth in this criminal complaint are serious and will be treated as such.

"The public can rest assured that federal, state, and local law enforcement are diligently working together to investigate and prosecute the alleged activity," he added in a statement.

The two men will be brought back to the Memphis federal court on Thursday.

Obama, who has made history by becoming the first black presidential nominee of a major political party, is already under secret service protection having received it much earlier in the campaign than any other presidential candidate.

In late August, the alarm was also raised when it was revealed that three men were arrested with a weapons cache in Denver, Colorado, where the party convention was being held. US attorneys later said there had been no credible threat against Obama.

The Memphis court was told that just before their arrest Cowart and Schlesselman had bought food, nylon rope and ski masks. They had also scouted out a house to rob on October 21, but left when they saw a couple of vehicles and a dog.

They also shot out the window of a local church in Brownsville, Tennessee, before driving back to Cowart's grandfather's home where they chalked racist words and symbols, including a Swastika and the numbers 14 and 88 onto the hood of Cowart's car, before being arrested last Wednesday.

"It is critical that the alleged plot was interrupted," said James Cavanaugh, special agent in charge at the ATF. "All forces of law enforcement have come together to stop this threat."
