John Kerry has asked the US Federal Election Commission to put an end to TV adverts which discredit his record as a soldier during the Vietnam War. The Democratic presidential candidate said the group behind the "inaccurate" ads was working illegally with the campaign to re-elect President Bush. Mr Kerry said earlier the group was doing George W Bush's "dirty work". The White House has denied any role in the ads and accused Mr Kerry of making "false and baseless attacks". "We've already said we weren't involved in any way in these ads - we've made that clear," White House spokesman Scott McClellan said in Crawford, Texas, where the president is holidaying at his ranch.
