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.

According to the Metropolitan Police, officers were called to reports of a suspicious package at the embassy at 8.40am that Friday and a controlled explosion was carried out.
Parmenter was arrested two days later.
