Federal agents said on Monday that they disrupted two neo-Nazi skinhead's plans to rob a gun store and kill presidential nominee Barack Obama.

The two men planned to shoot 88 black people and decapitate another 14, Jim Cavanaugh, special agent in charge of the Nashville field office for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said. The numbers 88 and 14 are symbolic in the white supremacist community.

"The men also sought to go on a national killing spree, with Obama as their final target."

"They said that would be their last, final act - that they would attempt to kill Sen. Obama," Cavanaugh told AP. "They didn't believe they would be able to do it, but that they would get killed trying.''

The men, Daniel Cowart and Paul Schlesselman, are charged with possessing an unregistered firearm, conspiring to steal firearms from a federally licensed gun dealer, and threatening a candidate for president.

Obama would be the first black president in US history if he defeats Republican John McCain in the November 4 US election.

Concerns about Obama's safety have led the US Secret Service to provide round-the-clock protection from early in his campaign.
