Man pleads not guilty to bomb hoax outside US embassy

A man has pleaded not guilty after being charged with a bomb hoax outside the US embassy in London.

Daniel Parmenter allegedly placed a device that resembled an improvised explosive device (IED) at the embassy in Nine Elms, south-west London, on November 22.

The 44-year-old, of Kildare Terrace, Bayswater, west London, appeared at the Old Bailey on Thursday holding a Bible and wearing a grey tracksuit.

Parmenter, who has been granted bail, will next appear at the same court for trial on October 20.

Parmenter was arrested two days later.
