(Reuters) - Two New York men are accused of plotting to produce a lethal radiation weapon and trying to sell it to a Jewish group and the Ku Klux Klan, according to a federal complaint unsealed on Wednesday.

Glendon Scott Crawford and Eric Feight were arrested on tips from informants in the groups that Crawford allegedly solicited about developing the weapon, the 66-page complaint said.

Crawford, 49, of Galway, described as an industrial engineer for General Electric, was the accused mastermind of the plot to finance and sell the remotely operated, radiation-emitting device, it said.

Feight, 54, of Hudson, was accused of conspiring with Crawford to build and sell it.

1. Facing up to 15 years in prison?

Seems kind of light for plotting to create a technology for the express purpose of wiping out entire races of people.

2. A look into the personality of Glendon Scott Crawford from LinkedIn site......

"Just a farm kid all grown up trying to raise 3 kids for the Glory of God and get my country back"

He want's HIS country back!

3. Another terror plot foiled by NSA eavesdropping. n/t

4. Lethal? Radiation? Really?

What were they going to do? Amass 5 million or so smoke detectors and blow them up in someone's bathroom? Get an x-ray machine and leave it turned on?

This shit has gone off the deep end for sure.

5. I wonder how many FBI guys were involved in the affair?

I hope I am wrong but it seems that whenever one of these things comes up eventually we find FBI guys as involved in some way. We will see. Hope all this was truly a good case of police work.
