'Ban Islam From America' Fliers Left at Proposed Mosque Site

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MUKILTEO, Wash. — May 10, 2016, 3:33 PM ET

"Ban Islam from America" fliers left at a proposed mosque site in northwest Washington are under investigation.

The Herald reports (http://bit.ly/1rQlXDw) an anonymous tip led authorities to find an American flag Thursday near a damaged sign posted with the fliers.

The sign announced plans for the mosque.

Mukilteo police Officer Myron Travis says about a half-dozen paragraphs in the fliers contained "anti-Islamic rhetoric."

Mosque President Mohammed Riaz Khan says he's working with religious groups to schedule a meeting this month to answer the public's questions.
