[Update] KKK Death Ray Also Targeted Andrew Cuomo: Ku Klux Klan Member In Jail Until July Hearing For Terrorist Plot

On top of President Obama and "enemies of Israel," KKK member Glenn Crawford also reportedly list Governor Andrew Cuomo as a target of his "death ray" contraption.

According to The Jerusalem Post, the 49-year-old Ku Klux Klan member along with his friend Eric Feight intended to make "radiation emitting device that could be placed in the back of a van to covertly emit ionizing radiation strong enough to bring about radiation sickness or death."

"Crawford described the device's capabilities as 'Hiroshima on a light switch' and that 'everything with respiration would be dead by the morning,'" according to the FBI.

Crawford identifies himself as "a member of the Ku Klux Klan, specifically, the United Northern & Southern Knights of the Ku Klux Klan" as well as a Tea Party member.

Since the FBI received the complaint, Crawford and Feight have been arrested for conspiracy to provide support to terrorists, and a source reported to the Daily News that the New York Governor was also a potential target.

Since the revelation, Cuomo office has not made a statement on the matter.

"We don't comment on issues related to the governor's security," says Cuomo's press secretary Matt Wing.

Fortunately, Crawford and Feight are being held without bail until a hearing in July, and officials promise no one was ever in serious danger.

"It was being closely monitored. No individual was ever at risk," said John Duncan of the U.S. Attorney's Office.
