Live reports suggest the hostages are split in two groups. Could be wearing explosive vests.

Looks like Lakemba is 4 or 5 miles south of downtown. Seems to be a lot of Mosques in the area.

The Lakemba mosque is one of the largest in Australia.

Apparently the chocolate shop has been named as a terror target in the past. Sounds like its somewhat of a tourist attrraction.

Lindt makes non-halal chocolates. I guess a few muzzies have their undies in a bunch over it.

Control, yes, but nowhere near a ban. There are legal ways to get guns - and a lot of illegal ways too.

Probably wouldn’t be too hard to make Australia and New Zealand mooselimb free zones.

Close all the mosques and deport all the ragheads en masse

Anybody who has a problem with that here in the States and Europe should be sent to Iraq.

Al Jazeera is streaming the news from Sidney, Australia now...the only news about it I can find on TV. Fox news is doing blips now and then but nothing new.

Good grief.

I know if there’s anyone that can bring about the best possible resolution, it’s your boys. Prayers up.

Yeah, the bomb threat sounds like a bluff to me.

On the other hand, it could be that they were forced to switch targets after the cops/locals realized something was up.

Here's a news flash to the Muzzies: Don't buy any.

There is a suicide bomber with a vest on in that Chocolate Shop with the hostages...maybe waiting for clearance to go in. Terrorist asking to speak the PM of Australia and more devices around the city claimed.

While the slaughter house is being designed for socialist wolves, pesky islamist coyotes are starting to feast before opening of the season and doors.
