(Reuters) - Three New York City residents pleaded not guilty on Friday to U.S. charges that they attempted to provide support to Islamic State militants.
The men entered their pleas during a hearing in Brooklyn following their arrest last month and indictment on Monday over a plot by two of them to travel to Syria to fight on behalf of the radical group.
Akhror Saidakhmetov, 19, Abdurasul Hasanovich Juraboev, 24, and Abror Habibov, 30, appeared in court in blue jail garb and shackles.
U.S. District Judge William Kuntz set a hearing for June 19 as prosecutors prepare to turn over recordings and classified evidence gathered to date.
