AN Afghan national who allegedly stabbed his wife in the neck during a "scuffle" at a unit in Jesmond last year has been granted conditional bail, with a judge questioning the strength of the case against the 39-year-old tax driver.
Aimal Ghouse - who worked as a translator for the Australian Army in Afghanistan and was subsequently offered protection and assistance to immigrate to Australia - is accused of stabbing his wife in front of the couple's children at the family home in William Street on April 9 last year.
