They're forcing hostages to hold up the Shahahdah which seems kind of silly in a city full of people that can't read Arabic.

Apparently there have been some anti-terror raids this morning, which may or may not be related to this seige.

Channel7 news reporting that an individual walked into a Sydney hospital with a suspicious package, and then disappeared and is currently missing. [12:57 GMT]


Hostages being held in 2 different groups according to unidentified Lindt chocolate cafe employee who managed to escape [12:55 GMT]

From Guardian Australia:



"I am seeing a lot of people tweeting/asking about the supposed police raids taking place in Lakemba at the same time as the siege. Ray Hadley, a conservative presenter with 2GB, said raids of homes in Lakemba, which has a large Muslim population, were taking place now.

Sources have told my colleague, Michael Safi, there are no raids underway in that suburb. About 20 police are touring the Lakemba mosque as part of a police induction day, which may have been the source of those reports."

There is another stream here: https://au.news.yahoo.com/video/watch/17174725/yahoo-7-live-sydney/

Not much has changed, guessing this will be a long stand-off.

Wouldn't trust Channel7 an inch.

Still feels like this is just bogan muslims and not some big plot.

Holy crap, I used to work there a few years ago, and that cafe is quite a popular hang out place. Emailed previous workmate, whole building evaluated and everyone sent home, no one I know was in the cafe thankfully. To think about what might've been.

From what I heard on the ABC, these raids occurred near Beecroft before the siege news broke. The Lakemba thing seems to be different situation.

This is what I think as well. A lot of stuff that actual terrorists would have done by now hasn't been done yet.
