Clinton: Terrorism Threat Is ‘Real’ But Calls for Resolve

“I have sat at that table in the Situation Room”. She added: “Let’s remember what happened on 9/11”.

The New York Police Department said Monday that it is seeking 28-year-old Ahmad Khan Rahami, a naturalized US citizen born in Afghanistan, in connection with Saturday’s bombing in Manhattan.

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.

Authorities are also investigating the stabbings of nine people at a Minnesota mall as a possible act of terrorism.

The investigations cast a long shadow over the presidential race, diverting both candidates’ plans for the day. Trump was expected to cancel a fundraiser and a town hall meeting in Florida on Monday.

“Donald Trump still has not revealed to the American public his global business relationships, even as it becomes increasingly clear that his overseas ties could well constitute significant conflicts of interest when it comes to charting US foreign policy”, the letter says.

“I should be a newscaster because I called it before the news”, he told “Fox and Friends” in a phone interview. It was not clear what his role in the incident is believed to be. His campaign declined to say whether it came from a national security briefing. “So let’s not get diverted and distracted by the kind of campaign rhetoric we hear coming from the other side”. She described Trump as a “recruiting sergeant” for ISIS. She called for “tough vetting” of refugees to be accompanied by a “better visa system”.

Secretary Clinton’s citation of her experience fighting terrorism, then, appears to be a challenge to the idea that a terrorist attack naturally favors Donald Trump, an assumption that the media is all too happy to make. “If somebody looks like he has a massive bomb on his back, we won’t go up to that person and say I’m sorry because if he looks like he comes from that part of the world we’re not allowed to profile”.

At an invitation-only event at Temple University, she acknowledged that she needs to do more to get millennials on board.

Mrs Clinton called for a coalition air strikes against Isis strongholds to be increased while the United States launches an “intelligence surge” at home to try to detect and stop attacks before they are carried out. The leaders are in NY for the U.N. General Assembly. Because of that, the letter says, the next president of the USA should champion policies that are “motivated exclusively by what is in America’s best interest, not by the financial interests of our president”, the New York Times reports.
