A day in court for Islamist cleric Abu Hamza al-Masri.

On Tuesday he pleaded not guilty on terrorism charges.

The Egyptian-born preacher, who is missing both his hands and an eye, could face up to life in prison if convicted on the charges.

The 54 year old Hamza is accused of participating in an 1998 hostage-taking in Yemen that resulted in the deaths of three Britons and an Australian. He is also charged with providing material support to al Qaeda by trying to set up a training camp in Oregon and with attempting to organize support for the Taliban in Afghanistan.

A trial date has been set for August 26, 2013,
