Man claiming to have bomb holds daughter hostage in Australian court
Australian police cordoned off a building today in a tense stand-off with a man claiming to have a bomb in his backpack and issuing demands from a lawyer’s office where he holed up with his teenage daughter, police said.
Police maintained a cordon around the lawyers’ office building in the western Sydney area of Parramatta, and workers in nearby office blocks said they had been evacuated.
