Republican presidential candidate John McCain condemns an aide who claimed a terrorist attack on the US would be a "big advantage" for his campaign.
Charlie Black said he deeply regretted the comments, which he made in an interview with Fortune magazine, and said it had been inappropriate.
It's a huge embarrassment for the Republican campaign, with McCain saying he couldn't imagine why Black had said what he did, insisting his record on combating terrorism was very clear.
