LOS ANGELES — An army combat veteran charged with plotting to bomb a white supremacist rally in Southern California as retribution for the New Zealand mosque attacks that killed 50 people in March has pleaded not guilty to terrorism charges.
The Los Angeles Times said 26-year-old Mark Steven Domingo entered pleas Friday in Los Angeles.
Domingo was arrested in April after receiving what he thought was an improvised explosive device from an undercover law enforcement agent.
Investigators say Domingo wanted to kill people at a planned April Nazi rally that did not take place.
Court papers say Domingo also discussed other attacks on Jews, churches and police.
