    I wonder if she's blonde?

    The wife of convicted terrorist recruiter Hamdi Alqudsi has become the first person in NSW to be charged with disrespectful behaviour in court, after she allegedly refused to stand when a District Court judge entered the courtroom.
    Moutiaa El-Zahed, one of Alqudsi’s two “wives”, was yesterday handed court attendance notices for the charges, each of which carries a maximum penalty of 14 days’ imprisonment or a $1100 fine.
    It is alleged she refused to stand on nine separate occasions when District Court judge Audrey Balla entered the room during a civil hearing between November 28 and December 7 last year.
    “Moutiaa El-Zahed has today been issued with court attendance notices for nine counts of disrespectful behaviour in court,” a Justice Department spokesman said yesterday.
