Abu Qatada cleared of terror charges

Source: BBC News

Radical Muslim cleric Abu Qatada has been found not guilty of terrorism offences by a court in Jordan.

A panel of civilian judges sitting at Amman's State Security Court cleared him of being involved in a thwarted plot aimed at the millennium celebrations in 2000.

The ruling comes after he was acquitted in June of conspiring in a 1998 bombing campaign in Jordan.

Abu Qatada was deported from the UK in July 2013.

Hopefully he'll stay deported from the UK just the same.

There's little doubt he'll use the ECHR to claim on "right to family life" . If he wants his family they can leave the UK too.

I think there would a huge public outcry in the event any consideration of letting him back in.

I am certainly not appreciative of this either :
