Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott Beirut - Former Lebanese prime minister Saad Hariri offered condolences to Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott over victims of a terrorist attack that targeted a cafe in Sydney last week. He extended his condolences in a letter addressed to Abbott, in which Hariri also condemned the attack. Heavily armed Australian police stormed a café in Sydney early on Tuesday morning and freed a number of hostages being held there at gunpoint, in a dramatic end to a 16-hour siege in which three people including the attacker were killed. |
