Paul, Making explosives is very dangerous even if the recipes are right. I personally knew many kids who lost fingers, eyes and other body organs due to careless handling of homemade explosives. Probably, the important thing to do before bombmaking is to learn the safety rules. I agree with you though that certain recipes and chemicals are unsafe no matter how carefully to handle them. - Igor.

This manual was used extensively in training locals in Nicaragua to kill members of the democratically elected government in Nicaragua. (And Diem, and Lumumba, and Guevara, and on and on.) Interestingly, when a Pakistani (or maybe Afghani) native practiced AP on some CIA agents at the front gate of the Langley facility, the CIA then spent $5 million tracking him down, even paying $2-3 M in finders fees. >Both paperbacks can be purchased at any gun show for about $5 each. > >It is available for free at any ATF field office.

Too bad nobody has bothered yet to scan and OCR it and put it on the Web. Now _that_ would be a blow! Foreign offices of the CIA might be easier to locate. Just walk up to any embassy gate and ask to speak to the Cultural Attache.

Ironically, safety instructions for making bombs would almost certainly be lumped in with the actual formulas for explosives. (Actually, as the safe and proper handling is more critical to successful bomb-making than the mere mixture of chemicals, this is a certainty.) And, as usual, the law will probably end up being applied to people innocent of criminal intent. And the _real_ bombers will continue to learn their trade at training camps in the deserts of Sudan and Iraq, and, of course, in the various militaries. --Tim May There's something wrong when I'm a felon under an increasing number of laws.

Instructions like "Do not drop bomb" and "run away after you light the fuse" are enabling technologies which allow terrorists to ply their trade. By banning all safety instructions related to explosives, we will save American lives and make the world safe for our children.

No surprise - a book on bombmaking has so little to do with anarchism* that you'd expect the author to either be clueless or spreading disinformation, so there's no reason to expect his bomb-making info to be correct either. [*Ok, there have been a few anarchists who've thrown bombs, and anarchists who _like_ that sort of thing aren't going to pay much attention to the government's opinion on whether bombs ar cool, and if there are many chemically clueless bomb-loving anarchists, some of them _might_ get their books published before Darwin removes them from the meme pool, but the couple of books like that strike me as either deliberate disinformation, or else as particularly negligent attempts at making a fast buck from rebellious teenagers.] # Thanks; Bill # Bill Stewart, +1-415-442-2215 stewarts@ix.netcom.com # You can get PGP outside the US at ftp.ox.ac.uk/pub/crypto/pgp # (If this is a mailing list or news, please Cc: me on replies.

Your > extremities/eyes/health will thank you. Just for the record, _The Anarchist's Cookbook_ is full of purposefully dangerous misinformation. It is written so that if you follow enough of its recipies, you *will* kill yourself. I suggest old archives or the newsgroup rec.pyrotechnics, which, until is self- censored itself, provided excellent safety advice as well as how to make things go boom. I'd imagine that there is still a wealth of information about safety. BTW, when making nitrocellulose, ice baths are your friends, cold water will just not do.

If anyone knows chemistry and isn't in jail yet, please >consider doing this wortwhile project. I can give one minor example from memory... The recipe for Nitrogen Tri-Iodide has four steps to it. The first two make the proper chemical. The second two are drying agents that will make the stuff blow up in your face. The book has a number of other risky recipes. It also contains the infamous (false) "Banana Peel" rumor about how smoking banana peels can get you high. A recipe for LSD that is pretty poor. A bunch of other bogus drug stuff... There are much better sources for info on explosives. The government publications do a pretty good job. (I have seen a few on "how to make explosives from common items" and the like. Training for military personnel trapped behind enemy lines and traing local governments for uprisings and the like... The CIA even did a comic book for distribution in South America. --- | "That'll make it hot for them!" - Guy Grand | |"The moral PGP Diffie taught Zimmermann unites all| Disclaimer: | | mankind free in one-key-steganography-privacy!" | Ignore the man | |`finger -l alano@teleport.com` for PGP 2.6.2 key | behind the keyboard.| | http://www.ctrl-alt-del.com/~alan/ |alan@ctrl-alt-del.com|

Especially chlorates, perchlorates, fulminates and azides.
You want something which isn't shock sensitive.
If someone is going to write such a book it should include good
instructions for fuel-air explosives. These can be little more than a
container of gasoline atop a small hig-explosive charge to atomisze,
disperse and ignite the fuel. They can produce incredible pressure waves
from relatively small amounts of material.
