Minnesota CAIR receives threatening e-mail, notifies FBI [View all]

“Get ready to have a war,” the e-mail reads.

Jaylani Hussein, CAIR-MN executive director, said the e-mail received Thursday evening is the second one from the same sender. The first one in December was a one-sentence e-mail that Hussein classified as hate mail.
