A lawyer for the Libyan militia leader suspected of playing a central role in the 2012 attacks in Benghazi that killed four Americans, including the United States ambassador, entered a plea of not guilty on behalf of her client Saturday. The suspect, Ahmed Abu Khattala, was flown to Washington by helicopter shortly after sunrise from a Navy warship where he had been held since his capture two weeks ago in Libya by American Special Operations forces. Mr. Abu Khattala appeared for arraignment before a magistrate in the federal courthouse in Washington. The plea of not guilty was in response to a single charge of conspiracy. Mr. Abu Khattala wore a black, hooded shirt and dark pants during the arraignment, which lasted about 10 minutes. He is next scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday for a detention hearing, followed by a July 8 status hearing.
