3. SOUNDBITE (English) Amy Gallicchio, Lawyer for Akayed Ullah:
"I think when we have an indictment containing charges like this I think that it is easy to lose sight of the very important and invaluable rights that every person is afforded in our system of justice including Mr. Ullah and that we should not lose sight of those fundamental principals of justice that protect all of us."

STORYLINE:
A Bangladeshi immigrant still recovering from injuries suffered in the failed pipe bombing of the New York subway system pleaded not guilty to terrorism charges Thursday.
Akayed Ullah, 27, entered the plea after he was indicted a day earlier on charges he provided material support to a terrorist organization and used a weapon of mass destruction in the Dec. 11 attack.
The bearded Ullah was the only person seriously hurt when the bomb went off in a corridor linking the subway to Manhattan's Port Authority bus terminal.
U.S. District Judge Richard J. Sullivan asked Ullah how he wanted to plead to the six-count indictment. Ullah responded: "At this moment, not guilty."
His court-appointed attorney, Amy Gallicchio, did not elaborate on the plea outside court.
During the proceeding, she asked Sullivan if he could intervene to speed medical care to Ullah at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, which is next to the courthouse in lower Manhattan.
She said Ullah recently had some stitches removed but had others that were still causing him a "great deal of discomfort." And she said he needed some of the dressing on his wounds changed.
He seemed to walk gingerly to his seat before the hearing began.
The judge said she should make her requests first of prison authorities and return to the judge only if they don't respond.
The judge said he may set a trial date at the next hearing, which was set for April 13.
Authorities said Ullah taunted President Donald Trump on Facebook before the attack.
The president later demanded tightened immigration rules.
Prosecutors said Ullah wanted to cause carnage to avenge U.S. aggression toward the Islamic State group.
The pipe bomb never fully exploded.
