A Cairo court Monday acquitted a cousin and former aide of slain Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi of the attempted murder of two Egyptian police, judicial sources said.

Ahmed Qaddaf al-Dam was detained in Cairo in March following a gunfight with Egyptian policemen in his apartment and was held despite Libyan demands for his extradition.

On Monday, the Cairo court also acquitted Qaddaf al-Dam of possessing unlicensed weapons and resisting arrest, sources said, but they did not elaborate about his current status.
