Two hostages, gunman dead in Sydney siege - CNN.com - 2 views

  • a self-styled Muslim cleric had been holding hostages early Tuesday, killing the gunman.
  • According to his social media posts, the hostage-taker appears to have embraced a radical Sunni theology.
  • They were holding up a black flag with Arabic writing on it reading, "There is no God but God and Mohammed is the prophet of God."
