Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump has attracted outrage by mocking a dead US Muslim soldier’s mother.
Ghazala Khan stood silently next to her husband as he attacked Mr Trump in an emotional speech to the Democratic National Convention on Thursday.
Trump suggested she may not have been allowed to speak.
Republicans and Democrats said the Republican candidate’s comments were no way to talk of a hero’s mother. Mrs Khan said she was upset by his remarks.
Last week her husband Khizr Khan said Mr Trump had sacrificed “nothing and no-one” for his country.
Humayun Khan was killed by a car bomb in 2004 in Iraq at the age of 27.
