An "armed and dangerous" Afghan-born suspect wanted in the weekend bomb attacks in New York and New Jersey was wounded Monday in a shootout with police and taken into custody. The Saturday attacks and a separate stabbing carried out by a Somali-American with possible links to the Islamic State extremist group has put America on edge over terror fears less than 50 days before the presidential election.
President Barack Obama, in New York on Monday attending the UN General Assembly with world leaders, called on Americans "not to succumb to fear" in his first remarks about the three attacks in the same 24-hour period.
