Summary:SYDNEY, Aug 26 AAP - Sydney's Lindt cafe siege may not have happened had Man Haron Monis been accepted by the bikie gang who twice rejected him, a crime expert says. Professor [Clarke Jones] said it wasn't clear if Monis' original destination was the Lindt cafe or the nearby Channel Seven building "because of his issues with (the) Sunrise (program)." On Tuesday, US terrorism expert Bruce Hoffman told the inquest the siege was "overwhelmingly" an act of terror and Monis was clearly a radicalised terrorist.
