Adis Medunjanin, a former Queens resident, pleaded not guilty Friday to plotting in a local subway bombing plot.



Medunjanin, seen above, a Bosnian immigrant who lived in Flushing, appeared in Brooklyn federal court where he was arraigned on a revised indictment that added some new charges against him.

According to the indictment, Medunjanin and another suspect in the case, Zarein Ahmedzay, had been recruited in 2008 to receive terrorist training in Pakistan.

Medunjanin was already facing charges that include conspiring to use weapons of mass destruction and commit murder abroad.

Prosecutors also say Medunjanin tried to crash into another car on the Bronx-Whitestone Bridge as a form of a suicide attack in January.

After the incident, Medunjanin allegedly called authorities and said, "We love death more than you love life." He was then arrested.

The defense said it will fight all the charges vigorously.
