November 30, 2007 (LPAC)--A five-hour hostage-taking and bomb threat at Democratic Presidential pre-candidate Hillary Clinton's Rochester, New Hampshire office ended at around 6:00pm today, with the release of all four hostages unharmed, and the surrender of the perpetrator, one Leeland Eisenberg, a 46-year old local man with a history of mental disorder.

Lyndon LaRouche commented, that this represents "a real setup" of Hillary: a "psychological cage-rattling." In response to the news of the hostage taking, Hillary Clinton canceled a scheduled 3:00 speech before the Democratic National Committee meeting in Tyson's Corner, Virginia, and remained in Washington, in close contact with the campaign staff in New Hampshire and law enforcement people on the scene.

Eisenberg allegedly wanted Hillary Clinton to get on the phone with him to discuss the failure of the mental health system in the U.S.

Clinton's campaign offices in Iowa were also closed during the Rochester incident, and most other Democratic candidates with offices in Rochester also shut down operations.
