The suspect charged with carrying out a deadly attack on National Guard troops stationed in Washington, D.C., pleaded not guilty on Wednesday.

Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, was accused of killing one soldier and critically injuring another National Guard member in an ambush attack near the White House last November. He faces nine federal charges, including first-degree murder after Army Spc. Sarah Beckstrom died. Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe is still recovering from serious wounds.
