Ugh....I'm traveling in the US right now, and on the wifi at LAX airport.  Almost immediately after I got off the plane, I saw a TV with Tony Abbott on it, and was wondering why NBC was talking about Australia.  Sad to see that this is what's going on, though at least no one's been hurt (yet).

Sounds like the gunmen told the hostages that he has two bombs in the cafe and two more elsewhere in Sydney: http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/police-clear-martin-place-after-gunman-holds-hostages-at-lindt-chocolat-cafe-20141215-127824.html

Stuff seems to be going down there now.  Some loud bangs heard, and more hostages run out of the building.  Saw someone on Twitter say that police were going into the building, but it's all pretty unclear, and I'm not near a TV.
