BELGRADE - Rudy Giuliani, the former New York mayor who is said to be one of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's leading candidates to become secretary of state, has had past dealings with foreign leaders and groups from Serbia to Russia and Iran that could draw scrutiny if he is nominated, RFE/RL reports.

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani is now "a leading candidate to be U.S. secretary of state" in the administration of President Donald Trump.

Reuters reported this on Monday quoting "a source familiar with the situation."

The Turkish Foreign Ministry issued a travel warning for the United States Nov. 12 amid ongoing demonstrations to protest the country's newly elected president, Donald Trump.

In a statement, the ministry called on Turkish nationals to be cautious with regards to the protests against Trump's victory declared in the early hours of Nov. 9.

Widespread anti-Trump protests are ongoing for a second day around major US cities, after the election results on Wednesday, which saw the outsider candidate under the Republican banner gain power.

Protesters took to the streets Wednesday in at least 10 cities to march against president-elect Donald Trump – and numerous college students and faculty leaders took to social media to announce support groups and even postponed exams.

A recusation demand submitted by arrested Iranian-Turkish businessman Reza Zarrab's lawyers against his case's judge has been rejected for "lacking merit," despite the defense's attempts to validate the demand by quoting President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

New York authorities said Sept. 19 that they are seeking a 28-year-old man in connection with a bombing in the city over the weekend that injured 29 people.

Police and the FBI released a photo of Ahmad Khan Rahami, a naturalized U.S. citizen of Afghan origin, saying he was "wanted" for questioning in the explosion on the night of Sept. 17 in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York.  

An explosion has left twenty-nine people hurt, none of them critically, but one seriously, New York officials say.

A second device has been found by police in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan, where the incident took place, according to CNN.

Mayor Bill de Blasio is quoted as saying no known terror link has been established.
