Abu Qatada found not guilty by Jordan court 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 deported from the UK in July 2013. A verdict on another alleged plot was adjourned until September.
BBC security correspondent Gordon Correra reports from Amman.
