After numerous complaints the FBI has decided to hals its anti-terrorism ads campaign in Seattle. Critics say the FBI’s “Faces of Global Terrorism” ads on billboards and buses people have to observe every day create the stereotype that terrorists are exclusively people with brown skin or Muslims.

The “Faces of Global Terrorism” ads featured 16 men wanted around the globe for terrorist activities.

Rep. Jim McDermott, a Washington Democrat, called the ads “racist” and demanded they should be pulled. “You look at the pictures, they’re all one color of folks,” he said as cited by The Washington Times.

According to the lawmaker, “terrorist come in all shapes and skin”. In McDermott’s opinion, it is wrong that an image of a person with brown skin pops up in one’s mind, whenever one speaks about terrorists.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has allegedly foiled an intricate assassination plot against President Barack Obama who was to be the target of an X-ray weapon, ABC reports.

Glendon Scott Crawford, 49, and Eric J. Feight, 54, are said to have spent several months building a complicated X-ray device that would emit deadly amounts of radiation and could be detonated remotely, FBI says.

The duo allegedly planned to hide their weapon in a truck and FBI experts said it would have been "functional" and "lethal."

The FBI also cited Crawford as saying the potential targets were "a political figure" and a Muslim organization. Sources familiar with the investigation identified the "political figure" as Barack Obama.

"Obama's policies caused this," Crawford allegedly wrote texed after the Boston marathon bombing.

The FBI has been keeping an eye on Crawford since last spring when he allegedly walked into a synagogue and inquired about technology that could kill "Israel's enemies while they slept." The synagogue called the police, and within six weeks the FBI had a source secretly recording meetings with Crawford
