          [N] EW YORK -- A Bronx man who booby-trapped his
              apartment with homemade bombs accidentally blew his
          left hand off Thursday morning, the police said,
[snip]
          Just what Saperstein -- who has a criminal record dating
          back to 1983 for weapons possession, disorderly conduct
          and drug possession -- was doing with all the explosives
          puzzled investigators.

          "There's no indication he was involved in any group,"
          said a police investigator, who spoke on the condition
          of anonymity. "There were no rantings or anarchist
          writings of any kind."

Good thing this guy didn't have a folder of old cypherpunks messages on a
hard drive!  Then he'd *really* be in trouble I guess.

They don't mention whether he learned how to make bombs on the Internet,
which means they haven't ruled out this possibility either.
