Clinton acknowledged that, although some in the audience might be “totally opposed” to her rival Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, “you may still have questions about me”.

An Afghan immigrant wanted for questioning in the bombings was captured in New Jersey Monday after being wounded in a gun battle with police, authorities said.

Later in the day, at the start of a campaign rally in Estero, Fla., Trump took sharp and repeated aim at Clinton, accusing her of embracing plans on immigration and refugees that are too lax.
