Seven suspected militants plead innocent of plans to attack Israel

AMMAN, Jordan - Seven men who allegedly trained in Syria and Lebanon pleaded innocent in a Jordan military court Monday to plotting attacks against Israel.The indictment accused eight men - including a fugitive who is being tried in absentia - of conspiring to commit acts of terrorism and endangering Jordan's relations with an unnamed "foreign country" - a clear reference to Israel, with whom Jordan signed a peace treaty in 1994.If convicted on both counts, the defendants could face the death penalty.The police foiled the plot in February when it arrested the seven men before they had carried out their plans.
