Footage from dawn raids on the home of an ISIS recruiter and his burka-clad wife has revealed police found documents calling for 'jihad' and letters from radical Islamist networks.

Police searched the Sydney home of convicted terrorist Hamdi Alqudsi in September 2014 but have only just released the video as his wife claims she was assaulted during the search.

In the footage, Moutia Elzahed - one of Alqudsi's two wives - is seen shouting at police officers and accusing one of hitting her.

Alqudsi, who was jailed for six years earlier this year for helping seven men travel to Syria to join ISIS, is heard scolding the officers as Mrs Elzahed rants in Arabic.

'Here, the woman's very sick. There's no reason for you to hit her in here,' he says.

'Just because she's Arabic doesn't mean she's a terrorist,' he adds.

I've got to think, we've had lone wolves but this above sounds very radical.  I don't think we've had this quite in the US but our press needs to do their job.
