Hostages in Sydney, Australia Being Held by TERRORISTS
The Islamic State (ISIS) strikes again! This time, in Sydney, Australia.
Terrorist are holding people hostage in a cafe in Sydney, and a black flag with Arabic writing can be seen in the window.
They are guessing there are 13 people being held hostage inside the cafe.
Hostages being held in Sydney, Australia cafe
More than a dozen hostages are being held inside a central Sydney, Australia cafe where a black flag with white Arabic writing could be seen in the window, local television showed on Monday, raising fears of an attack linked to Islamic militants.
Australia, which is backing the United States and its escalating action against Islamic State in Syria and Iraq, is on high alert for attacks by radicalized Muslims or by home-grown fighters returning from fighting in the Middle East.
Part of Martin Place, home to the Reserve Bank of Australia, commercial banks and close to the New South Wales (NSW) state parliament, was closed off by armed police.
Live television footage showed an estimated 13 patrons inside a cafe standing with their hands pressed against the windows. A black and white flag similar to those used by Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria was also visible.
NSW Police tweeted: "A police operation is underway in Martin Place, Sydney's CBD. People are advised to avoid the area."
Dozens of police including a SWAT team were setting up and a couple of hundred people were being held back by cordons.
Trains and buses were stopped and roads were blocked in the area, with train operators saying there had been a bomb threat at Martin Place.

This might be the actual flag in the window, I can't tell.

And the Sydney Opera House has also been evacuated because of a suspicious package.

They should have stormed the place with stun grenades and tear gas immediately. Don't give the fucker a chance to settle in or start beheading people.
