FBI foils plot to kill Obama with X-ray weapon

June 21, 2013 09:10

The FBI has reportedly foiled a plot to kill US president Barack Obama with a deadly X-ray weapon.

The X-ray system was designed to emit deadly amounts of radiation and could be detonated remotely, ABC News reports.

According to the report, Glendon Scott Crawford and Eric J. Feight constructed the weapon of mass destruction to kill Obama and blamed him for the Boston bombings. Crawford blamed 'Obama's policies' for the Boston attacks and said that Obama directed the government to bring Muslims in US without background checks.

FBI described Crawford as member of the Ku Klux Klan and had named his design as 'Hiroshima on a light switch'.

According to the report, the FBI had launched an investigation to Crawford last spring when he had allegedly entered a synagogue and enquired for a technology that could kill 'Israel's enemies while they slept'.
