Officials and their lapdog media are burying the fact that the terrorist who took the Café Lindt in Sydney hostage yesterday, was not just demanding an IS flag. He was also claiming to speak on behalf of IS.
Video relaying demands of the Islamic terrorist claims "this is an attack on Australia by the Islamic State".
UPDATE: The State Dept. has just issued a worldwide travel alert for US citizens. The explanation for the attack in Sydney is going the usual way, although Robert Spencer has an angle involving a curious story about the halal certifications chief and his wife.
