A man who claims he has a bomb attached to his waist has taken hostages at the campaign office of Hillary Rodham Clinton in Rochester, New Hampshire. According to news reports the man is demanding to talk to Senator Clinton, who is not in town.
At least two hostages have been taken by the man.
The campaign offices of Barack Obama and John Edwards in Rochester have been closed as a precaution. Local schools in the area are on lock down. Police have set up a command post at a nearby church.
Senator Clinton, who was supposed to deliver a speech before the Democratic National Committee in Washington, has cancelled her appearance.
The incident occurred just minutes ago and is still being monitored...

Need we say publicity? 2 hostages were taken, now both have been released, although it is not confirmed the "bomber" only had two people. He is communicating much more than any other. The CNN newscast just released that, "we do not want a swat team to open fire; we want to keep this a un-hostile situation"
How is a bomb un-hostile?
I have a solution, if the people inside were legally armed with personal defense weapons, this would not even have been a situation
Well, it looks like the whole thing was a non-emergency. The man had only flares strapped to his chest, not explosives or a bomb. But you never know.
Great free publicity for Hillary, though.
Hey, maybe the 'hostages' were planted.
That was purely a joke. I certainly do not make light of their situation. That would be horrifying.
