Republican Donald Trump has been criticised by the family of a dead Muslim soldier after saying as president he would have kept him alive.<\/p>\n
“Had I been president, Captain Khan would be alive today. We wouldn’t have been in this horrible, horrible mistake, the war in Iraq,” he said.<\/p>\n
The soldier’s father, Khizr Khan, said it was a “cruel” remark.<\/p>\n
He is campaigning for Hillary Clinton, who makes her first joint appearance with First Lady Michelle Obama later.<\/p>\n
Mr Khan’s son Humayun was killed by a car bomb in 2004 in Iraq at the age of 27.<\/p>\n
