:: It does not sstate it was a criminal act and hence no terror act is even claims it was a terror act,  and furthermore by your logic that would mean that terror is no crime?? where is your logic, but this put aside the article claims and states it was a terror attack by an individual islamist. he did not tried to rob the café or had personal issues with the owner of the lindt café but took the hostages due to an islamist backround. STOP spreading LIES! there are just some "socalled experts" who discuss about different backrounds that he was deranged or whatever, but this is just a discussion or claims of some individuals but NO conclusion. conclusion is the sydne hostage crisis was an islamist terror attack so stop spreading bullshit!!! sincerely go back to high school
