Hi Escapists,
It looks like someone linked with Islamic Extremists have taken hostages in Martin Place (Sydney), just a few blocks from where I'm working. So far it looks like 1 or 2 gunman which have the hostages holding an Islamic flag up against the windows.
Will keep updated on here as I hear more on TV etc.
