NYC terrorism suspect Zazi pleads not guilty

NEW YORK Najibullah Zazi's lawyer entered the plea Tuesday in a Brooklyn courtroom. Zazi was ordered held without bail during the brief hearing.

Officials say Zazi and his co-conspirators bought beauty products in Colorado containing hydrogen peroxide and acetone -- key ingredients for homemade bombs.

Prosecutors believe Zazi received explosives training from al-Qaida in Pakistan and planned to target mass transit in the New York City area.

The 24-year-old airport van driver and former coffee cart vendor has denied wrongdoing.

Zazi's next court date has been set for Dec. 3.
