Osama bin Laden's son-in-law has pleaded not guilty to plotting against Americans in his role as al Qaeda's leading spokesman as a landmark case trying a terror suspect on US soil moves forward.
Sulaiman Abu Ghaith entered the plea to one count of conspiracy to kill Americans after being captured in Jordan in the past week.
The case marks a legal victory for the Obama administration, which has long sought to charge senior al Qaeda suspects in US federal courts instead of holding them at the military detention centre at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
