Three men arrested in connection with an alleged "dirty bomb" plot in Britain last year denied involvement on Monday via a video-link from jail. They were arrested in September 2004, following an investigation by the News of the World newspaper which alleged they were planning an explosion that would spread radiation. Speaking from Belmarsh maximum security prison, the three - Roque Fernandes, 43, Abdurahman Kanyare, 53, and Dominic Agnello Martins, 44 - all denied two charges of conspiring to fund and possess an article for terrorism.
Kanyare and Martins are also charged with possessing a document containing information likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism.
The men were remanded in custody. Their full trial, at Britain's highest criminal court the Old Bailey, has been set for October 3.
