AKRON, Ohio - Five men charged with plotting to bomb a bridge in Ohio are due back in court this week.

The five, all described by the government as self-proclaimed anarchists, have pleaded not guilty and are due in federal court in Akron on Thursday on scheduling and bond issues.

The men were arrested last month when they allegedly tried to detonate what turned out to be a dud bomb provided by an FBI undercover informant.

The five had been associated with Occupy Cleveland, but organizers of the movement have tried to distance the group from the men.

One defense attorney called it a case of entrapment, with the informant guiding the way.
