#1 Tahawi, a fiery preacher who was imprisoned in Saudi Arabia before coming to Jordan in 1992, was found guilty along with his 11 comrades of "conspiring to carry out terrorist attacks against U.S and Western targets."
They had been charged with plotting to kill members of a U.S. dancing troupe at a concert last year.
But the court failed to provide evidence the group -- whose sentences ranged from one and a half to three years -- possessed weapons despite prosecution charges Tahawi sent some of the young militants for training last year in Iraq âs former rebel sanctuary of Falluja and in hideouts in Yemen.
Four others were acquitted in the trial that began in March.
The group planned to bomb a hotel in the northern city of Irbid that had Israeli patrons, according to the prosecution.
They also scouted several sites including camps where Western archaeologists worked and tourist groups frequented.

that'll teach 'em! sure to be rehabilitated when they walk/get out.
