The last hostage in the Rochester, New Hampshire situation has been released.
A few minutes later, the suspect stepped outside, into the middle of the street. Surrounded by a SWAT team, the man, dressed in smart trousers, a white shirt and red tie, took off the 'bomb' he claimed to have, before being taken into custody.
The suspect was known to the local police in Rochester.
No-one has been hurt and the hostages are ok. Congratulations to Rochester police department and all authorities concerned.
President Bill Clinton has also cancelled all events for today. Security has also been stepped up by police at the Clinton's house. Workers in other campaign office across the state have been told to keep all doors locked and be vigilant.
With one of the original four hostages being held, details have come out about the protagonist in this.
Earlier today he visited a hardware store and purchased several items. Some of these are believed to be strapped to his chest. The son of the man is reported to have been told by him, earlier in the day, to watch the news.
The networks which have begun rolling coverage of this, CNN, Fox, MSNBC have been asked by police to not air live pictures of the street in Rochester as it could compromise any action they might take.
The man has asked to speak to Hillary Clinton, who is at an event in Virginia.
The BBC has dragged it's heals on a developing story that's become viral on the internet these past few days.
A video was posted on YouTube, BBC footage from the afternoon of 9/11 showing reporter Jane Standley standing in front of the skyline of the World Trade Center site, claiming that Building 7 of the WTC complex had collapsed BEFORE it actually did at 1720 EST.
Here's that video
The BBC Editors Blog responded to this by saying they had lost the tapes of that days events and couldn't confirm the time discrepancy. Besides they added, confusion reigned supreme on that day (forgive us BBC, but you are the World's most respected news gathering organisation, isn't this just the sort of event you should excel in covering?)
They went further to distance themselves from being considered part of the conspiracy.
End of story?
No, today a BBC News 24 (the BBC's 24 hour rolling news channel) video has been uploaded which has a datestamp clearly in the bottom left hand corner of the screen showing 2154 Greenwich Mean Time, meaning it was 1654 on the US East Coast, while the anchor, Gavin Esler announces the collapse of the Salomon Brothers Building ( World Trade Center Buliding 7).
Both videos have gone viral all over the internet and pressure on the BBC to give a correct and detailed answer to this is growing.
There are varied and numerous reports of foreknowledge of Building 7's imminent collapse, the most notable in the context of this story is CNN's anchor at the time, Aaron Brown who reported at 1615 EST that the building '' has collapsed or is collapsing''.
A full hour and five minutes before it fell and it was being announced to BBC and CNN?
