UPDATE

Benghazi suspect pleads not guilty to conspiracy charge in D.C.

Ahmed Abu Khattala, a suspected Libyan ringleader of the 2012 terrorist embassy attack in Benghazi that killed four Americans, was brought Saturday from a Navy warship to the federal courthouse in Washington, D.C., where he entered a plea of not guilty to a single conspiracy charge.

Just before 3:30 p.m., Abu Khattala walked into a courtroom in downtown Washington unshackled, wearing a black zip-up hoodie and black pants. He appeared in public for the first time 13 days after he was captured in Libya and hours after a brief sunrise helicopter ride from the USS New York, which had transported him across the Atlantic Ocean.
