Two men have pleaded not guilty in a New York court to taking part in an alleged plot to set off home-made bombs on the city\'s subway system.
The men, Zarein Ahmedzay and Adis Medunjanin, were classmates of Afghan immigrant Najibullah Zazi, who pleaded guilty three days ago.
Zazi had said that he and the others were recruited by al-Qaeda during a trip to Pakistan in 2008.
US officials have called the plot one of the most serious threats since 9/11.
Zarein Ahmedzay and Adis Medunjanin, both 25, are US citizens from Queens in New York who reportedly attended high school with Zazi.
They’re accused of conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction, conspiracy to commit murder in a foreign country, and providing material support to the al-Qaeda terrorist network.
