Five Yemeni-American individuals were arrested during a raid by authorities on Friday in northeastern New York, remaining in custody without bail on charges of providing material support to terrorists. They are accused of operating an Al-Qaeda cell from their home in Buffalo, New York. A judge recorded the not guilty pleas of each suspect on Saturday and set a date for their next court appearance on Wednesday. Officials state that these five individuals received weapons training at an Al-Qaeda camp in Afghanistan and participated in a speech by Osama bin Laden.
