Washington:
An 88-year-old white supremacist who killed a security guard last
year at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum was also targeting one of
President Barack Obama's closest advisors, US magazine Time
reported Thursday.
James Von Brunn, who died in prison seven months after the museum
shooting, planned to kill senior advisor David Axelrod, claiming
that Obama was simply "too hard to reach", Time magazine reported.
Federal police were reportedly startled that Von Brunn had the
capability and motive to target Axelrod and began putting out
alerts on the wider threat from homegrown terrorists. The Secret
Service increased protection of Axelrod and took other measures.
Von Brunn attacked the Holocaust Museum in June 2009, shooting and
killing a security guard before being shot and wounded by police.
