U.S. federal agents say they have disrupted an alleged Neo-Nazi plot to assassinate Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and kill 102 black people in Tennessee.

In court documents unsealed Monday, officials with the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives linked two men to the plot.

The men allegedly planned to shoot 88 black people and decapitate another 14, according to court documents. Those numbers are symbolic to neo-Nazi groups, referring to "Heil Hitler" and a 14-word slogan often citied in racist propaganda.

Jim Cavanaugh, special agent in charge of the Nashville field office for ATF, claimed that the two men planned to finish their killing spree by murdering Obama.

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

Allegations against the two men -- Daniel Cowart, 20, of Bells, Tenn., and Paul Schlesselman 18, of West Helena, Ark. -- have not been proven in court.

Officials with ATF said they seized weapons from the pair, including a rifle, three pistols and a sawed-off shotgun.

Cowart and Schlesselman are charged with possessing an unregistered firearm and threatening a candidate for president. They are also accused planning to steal more weapons for the plot.
