A gunman has taken several people hostages at a cafe in the Australian city of Sydney.

Pictures on Australian television showed people with their hands up against a window, and a black flag with Arabic writing.

The cafe in Sydney's central business district has been surrounded by armed police.

Well that's all over and it doesn't seem as if any hostages have been injured. Hopefully the hostage taker has killed himself, but I doubt society is that lucky.

So the hostage taker is dead - good news - but it looks as though a hostage was killed too.

Just read a report that 2 hostages died, 3 more are injured. I am loving the #Illridewithyou stuff coming out of Oz though.
