Sydney Cafe Hostage Update: Terrorists' Sign Reads "There Is No God But Allah"






Several gunmen took a group of people hostage in a Sydney cafe on Sunday. Although a confirmed number of hostages is not available, multiple reports cite at least 13 people being held. Two of the hostages were immediately forced up to a window and ordered to hold an Islamic flag.

A terror expert appearing on 7 News said the flag belonged to the organization Jabah Al-Nusra, however, that has not yet officially been confirmed.

Local authorities are currently working on defusing the situation. It has been reported by multiple sources that at least one of the men inside was using a young cafe worker as a human shield.

7 News also reported that "The Sydney cafe siege may be part of a larger plot," but has yet to elaborate on that.

We will continue to update this story as more information comes in.
