Fourth NATO terror suspect pleads not guilty

A 24-year-old accused of threatening to blow up a bridge during the recent NATO summit in Chicago has pleaded not guilty to several counts of falsely making a terrorist threat.

Sebastian Senakiewicz appeared at an arraignment hearing on Tuesday at a Cook County courthouse.

The Poland-born Chicago man is also accused of bragging about hiding explosives in a hollowed-out Harry Potter novel.

Defense attorney Melinda Power has said her client may only have been ranting and boasting wildly while he was drunk.

Senakiewicz is one of four protesters arrested before the May summit and charged under a never-before-used Illinois terrorism statute. The others have also pleaded not guilty.

All four suspects have been unable to raise bond money and remain jailed.
