KKK member and his friend built 'truck-mounted death ray' and wanted to 'kill President Obama and Muslims in revenge for Boston bombings'
Two men, including a member of the KKK, have been arrested after trying to build a portable X-ray machine to allegedly kill President Obama and Muslims.
Glendon Scott Crawford, 49, and Eric J. Feight have been charged with conspiracy to provide support to terrorists after allegedly creating a remote-controlled device that could emit lethal doses of radiation.
The men were caught after a year long undercover FBI operation, which began when members of a synagogue contacted the authorities to say they had been offered a device to kill 'enemies of Israel'.
According to the FBI Crawford said the potential targets for his device, which he described as 'Hiroshima on a light switch' were a political figure and Muslims.
The political figure was identified as President Obama, sources close to the investigation told ABC News.
On the day of the Boston marathon bombings, Crawford allegedly sent a text message saying: 'Obama's policies caused this. He directed the [government] to start bringing [Muslims] here without background checks.'
He added: 'They don't have to follow any laws, and this administration has done more to enable a government sponsored invasion than the press can cover up.'
Crawford allegedly approached Jewish organizations to find people to help him with technology that could be used to surreptitiously deliver damaging doses of radiation.
Prosecutors said the industrial mechanic from Galway wanted the device to be used on unwitting victims and that they had scouted potential targets.
The laser was designed to be mounted on a truck and controlled remotely, according to the Jewish Press. The FBI said the device would have been fired through the truck's cigarette lighter.
The victims would have been hit with a lethal dose of radiation that would kill them about two weeks later.
Crawford, who claimed he was part of the United Northern & Southern Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, allegedly sought financing from the KKK in North Carolina, and approached Jewish organizations saying he wanted help targeting Muslims.
As he began his search for a source of radiation to use, he came into contact with two undercover FBI agents, who had received a tip off from two synagogues in Albany.
The men, who could face up to 15 years in prison, assembled the mobile device, which they said could be controlled remotely from up to half a mile away, but it was inoperable and nobody was hurt.
The damaging effects of the radiation would have appeared only days later, authorities said.
The investigation by the FBI in Albany and police agencies began in April 2012 after authorities received information that Crawford had approached a synagogue.
