If, if, this is ISIS:
Is there a significant Australian component to the action opposing ISIS?
Or is this an attack on an English speaking country without the consequences of doing the same in NY, DC or even London?
They arrested another man yesterday on terrorism charges, perhaps they were planning something else knew the game was up so just wanted to do something?Is there a significant Australian component to the action opposing ISIS?
Or is this an attack on an English speaking country without the consequences of doing the same in NY, DC or even London?
"Ray Hadley, a presenter at 2GB radio station, is saying the hostage takers want to talk to the prime minister, Tony Abbott, live on air."
oh well, at least someone wants to talk to him

Not that it makes a huge difference to the hostages but apparently it's not specifically an ISIS flag but a general jihadist flag. The black flag of Khorasan.

You wonder if other countries allowed citizens to carry firearms if isis would still be up for hostage taking.
Most countries are a soft target, but knowing that most people in that cafe could be armed might make them re think if it's quite such a good idea when your potential targets are able to fight back.
Life is more peaceful in countries where people carry guns? Thats definitely not the case where these jihadists come from.Most countries are a soft target, but knowing that most people in that cafe could be armed might make them re think if it's quite such a good idea when your potential targets are able to fight back.

In a building just round the corner and been told not to leave. Hope this ends peacefully
So does any normal person. Good luck! And to the poor buggers holed up with the nutjobs.In late just hearing about this/ One report says 40-50 people could be in cafe.
Chrise, 9 days to Christmas when all sane people are thinking about nothing but Christmas.
Perhaps we all ought to be a little more vigilant over the coming days (here as well, I mean).
Pray all get out without injury or loss (excluding the nutjobs of course).

If there is just one or two and they are walking around in view like that, it can't be long before that window shatters suddenly and he drops to the floor in a bloody mess.
I hope they are that amateur and dumb.
