Not good. Hopefully the police will sort it asap.

Plot to behead an Australian citizen in same plaza thwarted a few weeks ago.

Sydney airspace now closed down.

I feel so bad for the people held hostage, I hope they will be okay.

 

[The Upper Library]

I am hoping with all
my heart that this ends well but feel sick about what may well unfold. It makes me feel so hopelessly depressed.

 

[carteater]

this is getting pretty worrying now.

 

[Mutts Nuts]

From the look on their faces you have got to fear the worst

Been a long time coming, scary to think how they've grimly inspired a new generation of jihadist when al Qaeda failed.

I have no doubt that something is going to happen here. France or Germany likely to be next before us though.

The boss of Lindt apparently now saying up to 50 hostages in the café, eyewitness saying he thinks a dozen or so

It's like Russian Roulette, one or two of them may probably cop it, but they won't know till it happens.

 

[pastafarian]

Islam is the religion of peace!

The current situation is proof.

 

[Henfield One]

Thoughts and prayers for all those caught up in the siege.

 

[vegster]

Oh dear, lets hope it ends well for everyone except the hostage taker.
