A former Navy sailor pleaded not guilty yesterday to charges that he supported terrorism by disclosing secret information about the location of Navy ships and the best ways to attack them. The sailor, Hassan Abujihaad, 31, of Phoenix, was arraigned in United States District Court in New Haven. He has been held in bail since his arrest last month in Phoenix. His lawyer, Dan LaBelle, filed a motion on Tuesday asking that Mr. Abujihaad be released based on conditions determined at a hearing. Mr. LaBelle has said his client has a job and two small children. A hearing on the request is scheduled for April 11. Mr. Abujihaad, who was employed at a U.P.S. warehouse in Phoenix, is accused in a case that began in Connecticut and followed a suspected terrorist network across the country and into Europe and the Middle East.
