DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN — A terror suspect accused of raising money for a plot to have U.S. residents travel overseas to fight for ISIS has pleaded not guilty.

Dilkhayot Kasimov was arraigned Wednesday in federal court in Brooklyn. His attorney entered the not guilty plea to counts of conspiracy and attempting to provide material support to a terrorist organization.

Three other men — each Brooklyn residents — have been arrested in the same case. Court papers say one of them was taken into custody at John F. Kennedy International Airport on Feb. 25 trying to board a flight to Turkey.
