LOS ANGELES, Feb. 17 (Xinhuanet) -- The FBI is investigating an anti-Muslim flyer found in a mosque earlier this month in a Los Angeles suburb town, the agency said Friday.

FBI spokesperson Laura Eimiller confirmed that the agency had begun the investigating on the flyer threatening to "kill every last one of you," which has drawn concerns among local Muslim communities.

The flyer was left at the Islamic Center of Claremont in Pomona, some 50 km east of downtown Los Angeles, on Feb. 3, according to Hussam Ayloush, an official from a local Muslim civil liberties group.

"Americans of all faiths should be concerned whenever a house of worship is threatened," said Ayloush, executive director of the Council of American-Islamic Relations Southern California, which describes itself as the nation's largest Muslim civil liberties group.
