[Dawn] A Pak-born US citizen has pleaded not guilty to charges that he attempted to help al-Qaeda bomb the Washington subway system."No, no! Certainly not!"
Thirty-four-year-old Farooque Ahmed was arraigned Tuesday. His jury trial was scheduled for April. Ahmed was jugged last month in a federal sting. Authorities say he plotted with people he thought were al-Qaeda members to conduct bombings at D.C. Metrorail stations.
Authorities say the people he thought were al-Qaeda members were actually undercover law enforcement operatives.
Don'tcha just hate it when that happens?
Court documents released Tuesday show that authorities seized a pistol, a shotgun and two rifles from Ahmed's Ashburn home as well as a recording of a lecture from radical holy man Anwar al-Awlaki.
