This could indicate that they expect the situation to escalate. “US Consulate near hostage cafe evacuated, security warning issued,” Reuters, December 14, 2014:
SYDNEY, Dec 15 (Reuters) – The United States has evacuated its Sydney Consulate, which is located near a cafe in the city where hostages are being held, a spokeswoman said on Monday.
The consulate has also issued an emergency warning to U.S. citizens in Sydney, urging them to “maintain a high level of vigilance and take appropriate steps to enhance your personal security”….

Narrowly averting a second Benghazi…whew!
Rob Porter says
Rev, a very good one!
It would be interesting to learn how close the U.S. Embassy is to this cafe. My bet is that with Obama president of the USA, a pretty gutless mob run the embassy.
Jerry says
Nothing to worry about. It is just a natural reaction to Jews building an apartment in East Jerusalem, unveiled Black girls going to school in rural Northern Nigeria, and some Copt making a derogatory video about a 1400 years old homicidal paedophile.
Allahu AK47bar.

Joe Biden should now call Ayaan Hirsi Ali and ask her to explain TWO THINGS about this hostage taking to him.
He might TWO important THINGS about Islam.

He might learn TWO important THINGS about Islam.

Maybe in a conference call with Ben Affleck.
End Islam says
Purpose of Islam is same every where i.e to destroy civility, humanity, compassion, human knowledge / advancement most of all human spirit itself.
This should come as no surprise as the founder of Islam indulged in abhorrent activities during his life time – beheading unbelievers, taking sex slaves, marrying pre-puberty children, sex with wives of killed soldiers who fought/ opposed him. For every nasty sinful thing he did, god was always his excuse and he rewarded and promised paradise to all to help him and continue to commit these sins with him.
Only Satan or Devil can promise paradise for sins. Muslims are addicts that are on a blood lust.
Only way to cure is to ban Islam through legislation as it is inconsistent with human values, equality etc. and is a political ideology at best like Nazism. Countries have banned Nazism, why not Islam, it will most certainly be the cause of Third World War the way things are currently playing out.

NSW Police…….top brass……we are trying to work out what the [ISIS] flag stands for….unquote.
………….NSW Police Commissioner and Assistant Commissioner …both of them incompetent morons of the highest order.
David Woolmer says
ISIS and other terrorist groups like the Al-Nusra Front are supremely efficient and like organisations such as the CIA have either groups or individuals all over the world ready, willing and horribly able to co-ordinate small and large-scale attacks in a wide range of key locations- shopping centres,churches,embassies,cinemas, theatres,schools etc,etc all designed to weaken the resolve of our wet,weak leaders to take the strongest possible action when the terrorists are finally caught-LIFE SENTENCES without parole.

Robert please try to keep up with the news, the jihadi (that is what he is) has said there are 4 bombs planted in Sydney but not where they are. That is probably why the Embassy has taken precautions.
