Abu Qatada was acquitted Thursday of plotting a terror attack on the American school in Amman for lack of evidence but the radical cleric faces other terrorism charges and will remain in prison. "The court did **t find evidence to support charges against Omar Mahmud Mohammed Otman (Abu Qatada) that he conspired in late 1998 to carry out a terror attack on the American school in Amman," judge Ahmad Qatarneh said in a ruling. "Based on that, the court unanimously declares the in**cence of Omar Mahmud Mohammed Otman for lack evidence," added Qatarneh, before asking journalists to leave the court. Abu Qatada, a Palestinian-born preacher, was condemned to death in absentia in 1999 by an Amman court for conspiracy to carry out terror attacks.
