A Nigerian accused of trying to blow up an airliner with a bomb sewn into his underwear last Christmas has been arraigned on new charges in the US.
Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was indicted by a federal grand jury on two new charges of conspiracy and possessing an explosive device for a terrorism plot.
The 24-year-old, who fired his court-appointed lawyers in September, failed to enter a plea on the new counts.
He now faces a total of eight charges and, if convicted, life in prison.
Judge Nancy Edmunds entered a not guilty plea on Mr Abdulmutallab's behalf, according to prosecutors.
Mr Abdulmutallab was previously charged with the attempted murder of 290 jet passengers on 25 December 2009 and attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction, among other counts.
On a flight to Detroit from Amsterdam, passengers overpowered the Nigerian native after he had allegedly attempted to set off explosives concealed in his underwear.
Judge Edmunds said she would set a date for the trial at a hearing on 12 January.
