Obama accused claims 'unfair' jury
Updated on 13 November 2008
A white supremacist charged with plotting to kill US president-elect Barack Obama wants his indictment dismissed, arguing that the federal grand jury which charged him had too many black members.
Daniel Cowart, 20, of rural West Tennessee, and Paul Schlesselman, 18, of Arkansas, face charges including threatening a presidential candidate and taking firearms across state lines to commit crimes.
Authorities say the pair plotted a killing spree in which they would murder dozens of black people, including Mr Obama.
