- description: 'He is now threatening to kill us': The chilling video of siege survivor from INSIDE the Lindt cafe - as mad Sheik forced her to read out his list of demands A woman who was held hostage by a gunman in the terrorist siege at Sydney's Lindt cafe was forced to record a chilling video message by her captor with a list of demands. Marcia Mikhael, who works as a Westpac executive, also warned via social media that Iranian-born gunman Man Haron Monis was 'threatening to start killing us' as she huddled with 17 other terrified hostages inside the Martin Place cafe on Monday afternoon. Ms Mikhael, 42, was one of several hostages forced to stand in front of a black Islamic flag and relay several demands required by the 50-year-old gunman who she referred to as 'The Brother'. 'This is a message to Tony Abbott. We're held here hostage and The Brother has three requests,' Ms Mikhael said in the video. She said the gunman had demanded an Islamic State flag, to speak with the Prime Minister and to let the media know of two other bombs in the Sydney CBD in exchange for hostages. 'We don't understand why these demands haven't been met yet, they are not unreasonable,' she said. Ms Mikhael, who also works as a fitness business owner, delivered a frightening eyewitness account from inside the cafe when she was also forced to post the demands on her Facebook page. 'Dear friends and family,' she wrote. 'I'm at the Lindt Café at Martin Place being held hostage by a member of the ISI. The man who is keeping us hostage has asked for small and simple requests and none have been met. 'He is now threatening to start killing us. We need help right now. The man wants the world to know that Australia is under attack by the Islamic State.' NSW Police were aware of the social media posts yesterday, but asked the media and the public not to share them as they tried to negotiate with the gunman. Her family also called for people to include Ms Mikhael in your 'prayers not your posts'.
