SECRET Service spooks are disguising themselves as FARMERS to protect Barack Obama from terrorist threats at the G8 summit.
They have even bought a fleet of TRACTORS ahead of the US President’s arrival in Northern Ireland tomorrow for the two-day meeting.
The agents’ plan is to pose as local farmers in the sprawling fields around the five-star lakeside hotel complex hosting the huge event.
Dirty war ... US Secret Service will drive tractors at G8
But locals near the Lough Erne resort reckon it will not take any potential terrorists long to spot the spooks — as their sparkling tractors are all brand new.
Incognito ... how spook might look
One said: “They reckon the vehicles will let them patrol the fields around the hotel unnoticed — but they’ll stick out like sore thumbs.
“It’s comedy gold really, like something out of Father Ted.”
More than 200 US Secret Service agents — with special diplomatic immunity to shoot anyone they suspect of being a threat — will be protecting Mr Obama during his visit to Co Fermanagh.
Special forces units from the US Navy Seals — some said to be drawn from the team that killed Osama Bin Laden in 2011 — will patrol the waters of Lough Erne.
A six-doctor medical crew will also accompany the President, who is due to touch down in the Presidential jet Air Force One in Belfast tomorrow morning.
From there, he will be whisked away to the venue in his £1million bomb-proof Cadillac.
