Jordan court finds Abu Qatada not guilty of terror plot
Radical Muslim preacher Abu Qatada has been found not guilty of terrorism offences by a court in Jordan, over an alleged plot in 1998.
A panel of civilian judges sitting at the State Security Court in Amman cleared him of conspiracy to carry out terrorist acts.
Abu Qatada was put on trial after being deported from the UK in July 2013 having first been arrested in 2001.
A verdict relating to another alleged plot was adjourned until September.
