Hostages were being held inside a central Sydney 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.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott said he was convening a meeting of the cabinet's national security committee for a briefing on what he called a hostage situation in Australia's commercial capital.

  1. Looks like that huge curtailment of privately owned firearms by the Australian government isn't working out to well for those poor souls being held hostage in the chocolate shop. Everyone knows those crazy jihadist read and obey all laws and the police will take care of the "citizens".
