Monday, December 15, 17 hostages were held at gunpoint in a central Sydney café in Austrailia. The gunman was identified as Man Haron Monis and has been proved to have had a violent history and infatuation with extremism. He is believed to be acting alone and not apart of a larger plan of any kind. 2 of these 17 hostages were killed before the Sydney Police were able to siege towards the Café. Hundreds of police cars surrounded the café, waiting for the right time to try to get the hostages out. The Hostages inside were forced to hold up a flag with words written in Arabic saying, "There is no God but God and Mohammed is the prophet of God."
The rest of the hostages were soon after able to be rescued, but this incident has shaken up all of Australia. Hopefully within the next days we can be able to see Sydney on the road to recovery, conquering the fear of what just happened.
