The self-described Klu Klux Klan member who allegedly designed a truck-mounted radiation death ray to sell to Jewish groups had New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) among his targets, the New York Daily News reported Friday. 

A federal complaint filed in Albany against Glen Crawford, an industrial mechanic at General Electric Co., alleged that he was planning to use the mobile radiation device on a Muslim group, a political party and an unnamed “political figure.” Anonymous sources told the Daily News that the political figure was Cuomo, although the governor’s name did not appear in the complaint.
