Wouldn’t be surprised if Mossad contacted them to assist.

Good...the gunman says he has two bombs in Café. We have no idea the force if he detonates.

Looks like a bearded redneck with a headband, but glass distorts his face...certainly older than described, maybe 50ish with mixed white beard.

As said before...we’re seeing the best operating in this theater...and the negotiators are experts at getting hostages released...and as much as certain questions that will give them information they need to progress..

Middleaged man...which for that they’re not dealing with some hot Islamic kid...so this is very serious and no doubt a terrorist event in every way.

CNN doing phone interview with Radio Host who got hostage call from gunman making requests. He said that hostages escaped and weren’t released. That the gunman wanted all to know this is a terrorist attack for ISIS.

Three times he called and made demands, then Radio Host asked for negotiator. Evidently, he is making hostages talk and the terrorist had a middle eastern accent from Syria or Irag according to the Radio Host.

He is saying you all are in the ninth hour of this situation. The CNN anchor called him ? Hadley??

Wonder if this muslim is making them do that due to TV coverage of our protests. The radio host noted he was mentally off.
