Washington: Hillary Clinton is accusing Donald Trump of giving "aid and comfort" to Islamic terrorists, declaring his anti-Muslim rhetoric helps the Islamic State group and other militants recruit new fighters. Trump is insisting the US should "use whatever lawful methods are available" to get information from the Afghan immigrant arrested in this weekend's bombings.
As Trump supporters at a packed rally in Florida shouted, "Hang him!", the Republican presidential candidate mocked the fact that Ahmad Khan Rahami, a 28-year-old US citizen originally from Afghanistan, would receive medical care and legal representation.
"We must deliver a just and very harsh punishment to these people," he said. "These are enemies, these are combatants and we have to be tough, we have to be strong."
