In the most serious incident, a bomb went off in New York City’s Chelsea neighborhood on Saturday, injuring 29 people; another explosive device was found nearby.
A person of interest in the weekend bombings is a naturalized USA citizen from Afghanistan.
Asked about Ahmad Khan Rahami – in custody following a police shootout after he was allegedly seen on video near the bombing – and whether his Afghan descent will help Trump politically, Clinton said: “There are millions of law-abiding, peaceful Muslim Americans”.
“Knock the hell out of ’em”, Trump told “Fox and Friends” in a phone interview Monday morning.
Clinton often reminds her audiences that she was with Obama during the raids that led to the killing of Osama bin Laden in 2011.
Sounding more like a sitting President than a candidate for the office, Hillary Clinton on Monday said the United States will confront the threat of terror with “resolve, not fear”. But, he added, “We’ve got a museum for him to visit, so he can tune in”.
President Obama, who arrived in the city yesterday for his final UN General Assembly session, addressed about 65 people at a fundraiser hosted by restaurateur Danny Meyer and his wife, in NY.

Clinton had told a roomful of donors: “To just be grossly generalistic, you can put half of Trump supporters into what I call ‘the basket of deplorables.’ Right?”
President Barack Obama suggested at a NY fundraiser that American society is sexist, which is why Hillary Clinton is struggling to beat Donald Trump in the polls. “I think it is important for voters to know and hear this and weigh it in making their choice in November; we know that a lot of the rhetoric we’ve heard from Donald Trump has been seized on by terrorists, in particular ISIS”. Trump announced plans to meet with Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah El-Sissi on Monday. Her campaign acknowledges she needs to do more to get millennials on board.
The poll includes voters in North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Michigan, New Hampshire, Nevada, Ohio, Virginia, and Wisconsin.
