    I work in Western Sydney so not affected directly, but it's very sad news. Everyone here can't believe it is happening on our doorstep. I have a lot of friends who work in the CBD so it's worrying. I'm sick and tired of these scums. I love my country and I hate the fact that some people come here and do **** like this.

    A hostage situation is in development in Sydney, Australia, with multiple reports from different news agencies providing differing accounts of what’s happening.

    Business Insider reports that the hostage situation began unfolding earlier today in downtown Sydney at the Lindt Café. A man armed with a shotgun is holding the hostages, while police have shut down the area.

    In one image captured by news cameras, hostages were seen with their hands pressed against the window, while a black flag with white writing — which appeared to be Arabic — hung in the window. The Guardian initially reported that the flag was the flag of ISIS, but Business Insider discounts that report, saying that the flag is a Shahadah flag — that is, the black flag of Islam.

    At least one hostage is wearing the uniform of café employees.

    As the situation unfolded, another camera caught two different hostages, also standing at the window with their hands pressed against it.

    From the New York Post

    A gunman stormed into a trendy cafe in Sydney, Australia, on Sunday and was holding 12 people hostage while forcing them to hold up Islamic banners in the window, reports said.
    Photos from the scene showed employees of the Lindt Chocolate cafe standing against the windows of the store while holding the flags.

    The hostages were taken during an attempted robbery at the cafe around 10 a.m. Sydney time in the financial section of the city, the Daily Telegraph said.
