Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump has suggested that Rafael Cruz, his chief opponent's father, was connected to the man who killed President John F Kennedy.
In an interview with Fox News, Mr Trump brought up a story that recently appeared in the National Enquirer.
The tabloid published a photo that it says shows Rafael Cruz with Kennedy assassin Lee Harvey Oswald.
Ted Cruz's campaign called the article "another garbage story".
"His father was with Lee Harvey Oswald prior to Oswald's being — you know, shot. I mean, the whole thing is ridiculous," Mr Trump said on Tuesday.

"I mean, what was he doing — what was he doing with Lee Harvey Oswald shortly before the death? Before the shooting?"
