'I regret to say I am a terrorist': Wife of Sydney cafe gunman praised the Bali bombings, the Holocaust and 9/11 in online rants as row rages about why the accused murderer is free on bail

  • Amirah Droudis, 35, posted series of videos in 2009
  • In the videos, she described herself as a terrorist and expressed happiness at the 9/11 attack and Bali bombings
  • The videos linked to a website of siege gunman Man Haron Monis
  • Droudis charged with murdering Monis' first wife, and Monis was charged with being an acessory
  • Outrage has spread that both Droudis and Monis were released on bail
  • Police raided their home in Belmore, in south-west Sydney, on Tuesday

The wife of the Sydney terror siege gunman posted a series of hate-filled videos in which she described herself as a terrorist and expressed happiness at the 9/11 and 2002 Bali terror attacks and the Holocaust.

Amirah Droudis, 35, appeared in public Tuesday just hours after her partner Man Haron Monis was shot dead by police to end a 17-hour siege in which he held a score of hostages at a central Sydney cafe. Two of the captives also died.

Droudis reported to Campsie Police Station in southwestern Sydney, as required under conditions of her bail for the alleged murder of Monis' ex-wife, Noleen Hayson Pal, who was stabbed multiple times and set alight in April 2013. Monis was also charged in connection to the murder.

Four years before the killing, a woman believed to be Droudis posted a series of chilling videos on YouTube in which she described acts of terrorism as God's will. The videos bear the address of Monis' web site.

'I regret to say I am a terrorist. I admit and formally confess that for many years I have been a terrorist, but I'll try not to be anymore,' says the woman in one of the videos, whose face is mostly covered by a niqab.
