Holocaust-denier shooter: Obama created by Jews

Holocaust-denier shooter: Obama created by Jews
New documents reveal that a gunman who killed a guard at the US Holocaust Museum does not believe that Holocaust existed and is a harsh critic of President Barack Obama.

James von Brunn who shot dead security guard Steven Johns at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington had left some notes in his car before his shooting, a legal document showed Thursday.

"The Holocaust is a lie. Obama was created by Jews. Obama does what his Jew owners tell him to do," according to the handwritten notes.

The legal document traced von Brunn's movements from the moment he pulled up outside the museum to when two of the fallen security guard's colleagues stopped von Brunn's rampage by shooting him in the face.

"Jews control the mass media ... Jews captured America's money," the notes continued, according to an affidavit filed by an FBI special agent who is taking part in the probe of von Brunn.

All of the notes were signed "James W. Von Brunn," said the affidavit.

The affidavit also described the shooter as "a known white supremacist who has espoused hate speech directed specifically towards Jews for an extensive period of time."

In a short novel entitled "Kill the Best Gentiles," which von Brunn claims to have written, the suspect detailed how he "believed the government was being run by Jews and the Jews were looking to extinguish the white race," the affidavit noted.

The entire incident was captured by the museum's videotape surveillance system and subsequently viewed by the FBI, AFP reported.

Von Brunn, who is still in critical condition in hospital, was charged with murder and killing in the course of possession of a firearm in a federal facility, officials said.

Three US soldiers killed in Afghanistan

Three US soldiers are killed in an ambush in Afghanistan's Kapisa province north of Kabul, taking number of the coalition forces killed in 2009 to 126.

"Three coalition service members were killed in an attack on their convoy in Kapisa province this morning when their convoy struck an improvised explosive device and came under small-arms fire," the US military said on Thursday.

The force's media office told AFP that the three were from the United States.

No militant group has as yet claimed responsibility for the attack in area where extremist Hezb-e-Islami faction led by former prime minister Gulbuddin Hekmatyar are active.

A separate bombing in the southern province of Kandahar on Wednesday evening killed five Afghan security forces, Press TV correspondent reported.

The explosion hit a police patrol in the city of Spin Buldak, near the Durand Line border with Pakistan, when a Taliban militant rammed his explosive-laden motorcycle into the vehicle.

Taliban-linked insurgency has risen in Afghanistan, particularly in the violent south where hundreds of NATO soldiers are stationed.

Recent attacks have raised stability concerns as the nation heads for key presidential and provincial elections scheduled for August 20, the second since the US-led invasion of Afghanistan in 2001.

President Hamid Karzai came out as the winner in the previous lection in 2004 and is to step down when his five-year term ends in October 2009.
