Gunman and two hostages killed in Sydney siege: latest
Three dead - including gunman Man Haron Monis - and four injured as shootout ends Sydney hostage siege at Lindt cafe
16.58 Simeon Harris, a former sound recordist who was held hostage for six days during the Iranian Embassy siege of 1980, has spoken to Rory Tingle, who is following the story from London for us.
Mr Harris says the captives may well have formed a bond with the gunman during the crisis.
He told The Telegraph:

During the Libyan Embassy crisis, Mr Harris pleaded with his captors to allow the hostages to leave, saying that this would allow them to get publicity without causing bloodshed.
He thinks a similar scenario may well have unfolded in the Lindt café.

You go into complete terror; it is as though you are involved in a dreadful film.
People would also have tried to bond with each other, as your natural instinct is to find someone you can trust and talk to.”
