Two indicted in Obama 'assassination plot' case
A US federal grand jury in Memphis, Tennessee, has indicted two white supremacists accused of plotting to kill US President-elect Barack Obama and dozens of other black people.
Twenty-year-old Daniel Cowart and 18-year-old Paul Schlesselman were arrested last month, before Mr Obama won the presidential election. They are being held without bond.
