5 charged in US bomb plot plead not guilty
May 08, 2012
Five men described by the government as self-proclaimed anarchists entered not guilty pleas today to charges that accuse them of plotting to bomb a highway bridge near Cleveland. The five will remain in jail until their next hearing, a federal magistrate said. A detention hearing scheduled for today was postponed.
The men were arrested last week when they allegedly tried to detonate what turned out to be a dud bomb provided by an FBI undercover informant. The five had been associated with Occupy Cleveland, but organizers of the movement have tried to distance the group from the men. They say the five didn't represent it or its non-violent philosophy.
