ATLANTA - Federal authorities are investigating an inflamatory racist flyer containing a threat against Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama that was circulated in mailboxes of a suburban Atlanta subdivision.

An FBI spokesman said Friday that investigators ``reported the matter to the U.S. Secret Service for further review and determination on handling.''
The Secret Service did not immediately return a call.

The flyer purportedly from ``some of us KKK brothers,'' which surfaced this week in Clayton County south of Atlanta, contained derogatory references to blacks, Asians and homosexuals. It said if Obama won the election ``we may have to get rid'' of him and ``in fact we will.''
