A FORMER Qantas cabin cleaner who was jailed for writing a "do-it-yourself'' terrorism jihad book could be released on bail within days.
Belal Saadallah Khazaal, 42, has been behind bars since September 2008, after the NSW Supreme Court found him guilty of making a document between September 20 and October 28, 2003 connected with assistance in a terrorist act, knowing of that connection.

ASSASSINS

  
He had been sentenced to at least nine years behind bars.
But earlier this month the NSW Court of Criminal Appeal allowed an appeal against Khazaal's conviction, and ordered a retrial.
The retrial was likely to go ahead in the next six to nine months, Justice Michael Adams told the Supreme Court on Thursday.
Khazaal's lawyer, Charles Waterstreet, urged Justice Adams to release Khazaal on bail in the meantime, given that he had previously complied with ``the most onerous bail conditions the court had ever granted'' from June 2004 until he was jailed in September 2008.
``He was not allowed to use the internet, he was not allowed to use the phone without notice, he was not allowed to leave the house except for prayers, he was not allowed to mix with anyone other than his family,'' Mr Waterstreet said.
Despite that, he had obeyed the bail conditions and had appeared for his trial.
``Very rarely do you have a case of very serious charges and a compliance with bail for several years,'' he said.
He argued that Khazaal had been jailed in a maximum security arrangement that was ``one level down from Guantanamo Bay'', and that his two children, aged 13 and 14, needed their father to be with them.
Appearing with the aid of an interpreter, Khazaal's brother-in-law, Hissam Alyassine, agreed to put up his house, valued at $460,000, as surety that Khazaal would meet his bail conditions.
In addition, Khazaal's two brothers, who were at the court, agreed they would each undertake to deposit $200,000 as surety.
Crown prosecutor Peter Neil SC opposed bail.
Justice Adams said he would make a decision in the next few days.
The matter was adjourned to a date yet to be fixed.

I almost forgot I had this…oooops.



Carnita Matthews signatures released to media by Judge

New twist in Carnita Matthews burqa case

A JUDGE has decided to release the signatures at the heart of a decision to overturn the six month jail sentence of Carnita Matthews for making a false complaint to police.
Judge Jeffreys said last week he could not be satisfied that Matthews had made the statement claiming a highway police officer was racist and had moved to rip the full face niqab off her head - because the woman who handed it to police was wearing a full face niqab, which is similar to a burqa.
He could not be sure beyond a reasonable doubt that it was the Muslim's  woman's signature on a statutory declaration handed to police.
But earlier today Ms Matthews' lawyer Stephen Hopper had stated in court that it was her signature on the disputed document.
The amazing statement came in the District Court while The Daily Telegraph was seeking permission to publish the signature at the heart of the case on the statutory declaration.
In the original case the prosecution argued  the signature matched one on her driver's licence but the judge said there were a number of differences.
The Daily Telegraph had been refused permission by the registrar of the District Court to reproduce the signatures but this afternoon Judge Jeffreys overturned the registrar's ruling.
The case began in June last year when Ms Matthews, 47, had been stopped for a random breath test and was booked by Sen-Constable Paul Fogarty for not properly displaying the rear P-plate on her black Honda Odyssey.
She claimed through her lawyer  it could not be proven it was her who made the false complaint to police that the officer had been racist, a complaint shown not to be true by the police in-car video of the traffic stop.
Magistrate Robert Rabbidge, who convicted her last year and sentenced her to jail, said the two signatures were "almost identical.''
In court this morning, counsel for The Daily Telegraph James Hmelnitsky said the newspaper had been denied permission to publish the signature by the court registrar.
He said that was effectively a suppression order and the judge had the discretion to allow the publication in the administration of open justice.
Ms Matthews was not in court and Mr Hopper opposed The Daily Telegraph's application to publish the signature saying it would be an invasion of her privacy.
"They are not just seeking the documents. They are seeking the signature of my client," he told the court.
Counsel for The Daily Telegraph James Hmelnitsky said this went to the heart of open justice.
