A 16-hour hostage situation ended on Tuesday with three people killed and four others wounded at the Lindt cafe in central Sydney, Australia, when security forces stormed the building, AP reported. The dead included two hostages and the Iranian-born gunman Man Haron Monis, who burst into the cafe on Monday morning and took 17 people hostage. Monis’ motivation for the attack is still unclear, but he had a history of violent crime.
