Palestinian sought to recruit Texas man to kill Obama last year, Israel Police say

An unnamed Palestinian man sought to recruit a US citizen to assassinate Barack Obama when the US president visited Israel and the West Bank in March 2013, Israel police said on Tuesday.

The American, Adam Everett Livix, was indicted in Tel Aviv on Tuesday on a separate matter, for charges that include obtaining plastic explosives from Israeli soldiers with the apparent intention of harming Muslim holy sites

Israel Police said that Livix, who lived in Hebron and Bethlehem in 2013, was asked at that time by a Palestinian operative if he would assassinate Obama with a sniper’s rifle during the president’s visit, but Livix refused to do so. No reference to this allegation was made in the charge sheet released Tuesday.

“Adam Livix came to the region in 2013 and lived in Palestinian Authority territory in Hebron and Bethlehem,” Israel Police said in a statement. “In the course of his stay in Bethlehem, a Palestinian activist suggested to him that he assassinate President Barack Obama, who was visiting Israel at the time, with a sniper’s rifle that would be procured for him. Adam refused this suggestion.”

Probably the worst source you could cite on the subject. Literally just a guy in a basement in Seattle.
