On Monday, it became known that two white supremacists had a plan to rampage across the country, killing black people and ultimately targeting Barack Obama. Two men described as Neo-Nazi skinheads planned to kill 88 black people, 14 by beheading. These numbers are significant to white supremacists, 88 stands for HH or Heil Hitler, and 14 refers to a famous quote "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children." Officials are continuing to investigate, but at present there is no evidence that there were any others involved in the plot, or indeed a formal assassination plan. "They didn't believe they would be able to do it, but that they would get killed trying," says Jim Cavanaugh, one of the investigators. Even so, this raises concerns over possible future attempts on Obama's life if he is elected to the Presidency.
