Police are negotiating with an armed offender who has been holding an unknown number of people hostage at the Lindt Chocolat Cafe in Sydney's Martin Place.

Three people emerged from the building about 4:00pm (AEDT) and they were followed by another two an hour later.

Hostages were earlier seen pressing a black flag with Arabic text against the cafe's windows.

I thought of you when I saw it was a cafe.  You seem to like cafes.  Good to know you are safe.

Omollo,

Can you elaborate?  I don't know Howard.

Termy, thanks. I used to work at Martin Place and yes I went to that chocolate shop.

It's 4am in the morning and there's a very loud alarm going off in my apartment complex. .

Thanks Skaty. The alarm was triggered by some obvious psychopath in the apartment complex, he's been setting it off from the inside a couple times now. I got no sleep at all last night. Power napped for 10 minutes in the car though. I'm so exhausted. Who would've thought the holidays are more exhausting...
