The letter sent on Wednesday to Lakemba Mosque in Sydney’s west contained a drawing of a pig and a threat to kill the “Muslim race,” local media reported.

Police have also arrested and charged a 70-year-old man in connection with a third threatening letter sent last month to Lakemba Mosque’s staff. The Lebanese Muslim Association, which runs the mosque, told the Australian Broadcasting Corp (ABC) it had written to the government to request more funding for additional security guards and surveillance cameras.
