In Australia, a 16 hour stand-off at a cafe in Sydney ended with police storming in after hearing gunshots. When it was all over, 2 hostages had been killed, along with the alleged hostage taker, a radical, self-proclaimed Muslim cleric.
Allegedly, the suspect faced dozens of assault and sexual assault related charges against at least 6 women.
And in Pakistan, at least 141 are dead, mostly children and teens, after the Taliban attacked a military run school in Peshawar.
Apparently, the group in question is trying to overthrow the government. There's been no word (at this writing) on what happened to the 7 attackers, who wore explosive vests, although it's extremely likely they died when government forces stormed in and regained control.
Sad tidings.
