Terrorist, Plead Not Guilty | featured news

An American woman who authorities say called herself "Jihad Jane" is scheduled to be arraigned Thursday in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, accused of conspiring to support terrorists and kill a person in a foreign country, the U.S. Justice Department said.

At least one -- and possibly all five -- of the detainees with alleged ties to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, will plead not guilty in a "justification defense," arguing the attacks were responses to American foreign policy, according to a lawyer who met with one of the defendants.
