Plot to kill Barack Obama: Three ‘white supremacists’ arrested
CBS4, a Denver radio station, reported that one of the suspects told authorities they were “going to shoot Obama from a high vantage point using a … rifle … sighted at 750 yards“. When one of the suspects “was directly asked if they had come to Denver to kill Obama”, a CBS4 source said, “he responded in the affirmative”.
Fox News reported that the three men might have links to Sons of Silence, an outlaw motorcycle group, and white supremacists.
Authorities said that the three people has been arrested on firearms and drug charges.
Two rifles, one with a telescopic sight, walkie-talkies, a bulletproof vest, licenses in the names of other people and methamphetamine were found in a truck that was stopped on Sunday morning. One of the rifles was listed as stolen from Kansas.
