Government prosecutors announced on Wednesday that they would not pursue remaining charges against a Saudi graduate student at the University of Idaho who was acquitted last month of fostering terrorism on several Islamic Web sites.
The remaining charges were dropped only after Sami Omar Al-Hussayen, a computer-science student who has been in jail since February 2003, agreed to drop his appeal of a deportation order that dates from last year.
Mr. Al-Hussayen will be deported to Saudi Arabia within two weeks, according to government officials.
