Urgent review ordered into background of Sydney siege gunman
An urgent review has been ordered by the Australian government to answer a number of "obvious questions" about what could have been done to prevent the deadly siege at a Sydney café.
It comes as police in Sydney revealed they fought to keep gunman Man Haron Monis, who went on to kill two hostages in a 16-hour siege, in custody - but were overruled by the courts, police chiefs have revealed.
The 50-year-old gunman, who died as police stormed the building, was implicated in a string of serious crimes but had still been granted bail.
