A U.K. man accused of conspiring to set up a terrorist training camp in Bly, Oregon, in 1999 and 2000 is scheduled to go on trial in New York in June, more than a decade after the charges were filed against him.
Haroon Rashid Aswat, who fought U.S. demands for extradition from the U.K. for more than nine years, pleaded not guilty after he was extradited to New York in October. He faces charges that include providing material support to terrorists and conspiring to provide material support to al-Qaeda, which carry terms of as long as 10 years in prison.
