RAEFORD, N.C. — An Army Reserve officer left bacon at a mosque and brandished a handgun while threatening to kill Muslims and "bury them behind the mosque," North Carolina authorities said Friday.

The series of threats began Thursday afternoon when members of the mosque in Raeford noticed open packages of bacon near one of the entrances, according to a Hoke County Sheriff's Office news release.

Advocacy groups say pork is often used to insult Muslims because their religion doesn't allow them to eat it.

Members of the Masjid Al Madina mosque saw a Chevrolet Tahoe leaving the parking lot, and the vehicle later followed one of them home. The person tried to evade the car but couldn't.
