Mr. Medunjanin was in court Friday to respond to the additional terrorism charges, which include conspiring to use weapons of mass destruction and providing material support to al Qaeda, among other things.

In the new indictment, prosecutors said Mr. Medunjanin traveled to Pakistan with Mr. Zazi and Mr. Ahmedzay to get military-style training from al Qaeda. The indictment alleges that Mr. Medunjanin and the others were recruited by Mr. Shukrijumah.
