10/07/12: Al Jazeera reports Babar Ahmad and Syed Talha Ahsan, two Muslim clerics who were extradited to the US from Great Britain, have pleaded not guilty to federal charges of providing terrorist groups in Afghanistan and Chechnya with financial aid, arms and personnel. The two suspects appeared in the US District Court for the District of Connecticut hours after being extradited along with three other suspects on Saturday. If convicted, the two men face life sentences. Abu Hamza al-Masri, Khalid al-Fawaz and Adel Abdul Bary, the three others extradited, appeared at the US District Court for the Southern District of New York. Al-Masri was formally arraigned for the eleven charges levied against him, but is not expected to enter a response until Tuesday.
