Apparently Chris Kenny (journo from the Australian) missed being caught inside by minutes.
Doza - this is pretty much confirmed not ISIS, should this be a different thread?

My colleague Michael Safi reports the flag in the cafe window appears
to bear the Shahada: “There is no god but the God, Muhammad is the
messenger of God”.

He reports:

The flag that hostages appear to have been forced to hold up in the window of the Lindt Cafe in Martin Place is not the Islamic State flag - but that isn’t to say that Isis is not involved in today’s incident.
The flag appears to bear the Shahada, an Islamic creed which reads: “There is no god but the God, Muhammad is the messenger of God”.
It’s a perfectly benign symbol and appears across the Islamic world, including on the Saudi Arabian flag. But it has also been embraced by jihadi groups such as Jabhat Al-Nusra, an Al-Qaeda affiliate currently fighting in Syria.

Did these idiots have a plan beyond holding these hostages?

Hopefully not.
