17-year-old Student Arrested for Possessing a Copy of the "Anarchists' Cookbook"

it's one thing to think a thought but it's something different when you act on it

destruction of innocent life is always a crime no matter how you rationalize it murdering people is wrong and following through with a plan which could potentially kill others is evil, sure there is no perfect system here on earth but you have to make your choices. If you can not see the evil in this world your eyes are closed and you are still a sleep, you do not need philosophers to tell you that all the rage and hatred which is driving the human race to extinguish itself is good and all the ideologies that poison their minds and blind their eyes to commit these attrocious acts are indeed diabolical. It's one thing to have the freedom to read a book it's another thing to act on it and put a plan into motion that could harm others or society.

Those who live by the sword will die by the sword.

to the person who represents himself as "the truth" fuk u dickhead. i aint got no problem with being a bit of a prankster its why i joined the site, last time i checked smoke bombs were not illegal, and u can buy the anarchist cookbook from amazon, what i am seein though is that if ur asian and youve got all this stuff and at the same time ur a political kind of person, then chances are ur under surveillance, and of course in some cases theyll just arrest u on suspicion, and the reason they give u is that u might have been involved in terrorist activity, but they wont tell u what activity, or what conspiracy u were planning on carrying out, so unless youve been in this situation then i suggest u keep ur mouth shut cos u dont know what ur talking abou. I aint talking about those people whove got life for blanning on blowing up people, cos there in a different league, i am talking about those people who have been caught with the kind of stuff ive mentioned above and have gotten sentences from a few months to a few years, u can check out all the terrorism cases if u want and youll find i am right, now do u really think if these lot were a massive risk to national security theyd let them out after sentences that a robber, or a person who has assaulted someone would get? Dont forget this either its the majority who get these sentences when convicted, the minority are the ones that get life, and our laws are very strict, people who do those everyday murderes get it a lot easier. All u know is what u watch on t.v. and read in the papers, and if u believe in that then ur just plain dumb, ask the people in the know, do a bit of ur own research, get some info from an unbiased point of view, and then, maybe then youll have some actual information, u can rely on.

This kid is the biggest loser. I have no idea who he is but he is bragging about it on other internet sites.

Jun 16, 2007 6:53 am - Burning Down The Kitchen
About a week back, i was a making a smoke bomb in my kitchen, now although ive made at least over 20 in the past on this occasion i nearly burnt down the kitchen, i overheated it, and the overcooked smoke bomb lit in the frying pan with the fire shooting up to the ceiling, me getting burnt fingers and the kitchen been totally blacked out by smoke for about 15 minutes even with the fan on and the windows been open, so if anyone has had a similar experience then id be happy to hear them.

May 15, 2008 9:23 am - counter terrorism unit

Thats all I have found on him so far. From what I can tell this kid is proud of what he has done and he is bragging about it. His email is asian_spook@hotmail.co.uk
He is clearly the guy posting here in different names trying to defend himself

Bad things happens when good people stand around and do nothing...
on that note.. does it seem a wee bit strange that this youth was busted for the book in the first place..
second... there are some up tight mean spirited weed smokers here..too many have real issues here and need to seek help because the weed ain't healing your asses!!

Not my choice of reading material but !... When you start sencering what people read that is never a good thing. Funny how the publishing co.s never get arrested for what they print, but people can be arrested for reading it ? Strange world we live in.


Hey, do you know thet WEEDGOD spelled backwards is : DOGDEEW ! Makes sence .

Hey, so called "weedgod". Shut your little fucking mouth you fucking wanker. Fuck you!

Probably wouldn't have been a big deal except for the fact that he had materials/explosives for a bomb in his posession .
Don't go by the headlines , they are often mis'leading and are written that way for the attention .

its really fucked up that they can be arrested for possesing a book that can be bought at barnes and noble. wtf?!

its moronic anyone would bother to care about such a stupid book thats best served as a coffee table reader, or a nostalgia piece for the throne room, its like paul simon, really kinda outdated and stupid but still around........

haha yea, you can actually get this book for free on some sites, my cousin use to have it and we didnt try to make any explosives or anything but it wasnt just about explosives had some stuff about drugs.

This Kid Had To Have Been Doing Something Stupid To Get Caught. Must Have Been Showing Off The Book Or Something Not Even Relating To It And Got Searched. There's No Way An Officer Just Said "Oh Hey, You Look Suspicious Let Me Search Your Shit."

my point exzactly

HI MY NAME IS MR.KUSH, AND I MAKE COMMENTS ABOUT GUYS I WANNA BLOW!
PS.SEEK HELP NUMBNUTS!

THE MIGHTY WEEDGOD HAS SPOKEN!

hi, my names weedgod, i have no life and make gay comments on high times all day

why do you come to this website when no one likes you or wants to read what you have to say

HEY GREENSHIT! WHO THE FUCK CARES DICKHEAD!
THE MIGHTY WEEDGOD HAS SPOKEN!

KNO3 is potassium nitrate, and I wrote KNO3 instead because it is much faster to write KNO3 than to write potassium nitrate, but since I've had to write the full "potassium nitrate" thing, I guess it just goes to show that, sometimes, the short cut is the longest path to one's destination.
By the way, for all who believe this sort of info should not be available, I have this to say; The instant ANY restrictions are placed on the First Amendment, there effectively ceases to be a First Amendment and, therefore, NO reason for any further commitment to the American Union, in which case these documents will be very much needed, indeed.

green hits a little bitch

The fact that kids can find this information anywhere just proves the point. The fact that most people who buy these fuckin books are so depressed they would rather blow up other people and laugh about it because they have nothing better to do. Figure yourself out is all im saying. Fucked up world Fucked up place

I don't think fertilizer is the catalyst for attention as much as the amount of fertilizer .

The next time I need some "KNO3" I'll look that up ..

Does anyone know if the KNO3 in itself would be enough to elicit action by the British authorities? If so, is there an established list of chemicals forbidden to public possession in that nation?

for having a book after all.

The case was ongoing and involved actual explosives under a bed and a lot more than a owning a book alone.

I really don't know if HT does this to be funny or if they really do have a tabloid mentality.

It was fun to get mad at an outrageous government action and then to dig up the truth for myself.

What's next HT, a "bigfoot sparkin' up with the aliens" story?

toke toke

i dunno wtf im doing

how's your twisted sister/alter-ego "kells" ya sicko?

I GOT A BOOK: EAT MY BALLS,BY THE MIGHTY WEEDGOD 2007HERBPRESS.

THE MIGHTY WEEDGOD HAS SPOKEN!

Like it said, the kid was caught with a pound of explosive ingredients under his bed. Seems to me that the book was an afterthought.

You neeed a class on "Cause & Effect " .

anarchy will reign over all !

looks like both england and america's governments have both used terroism as a oppertunity and reason to justify revoke our freedoms.

what we need is new leadership with the guts to restore our countrys to pre 911.

because as far as im concerned the terroists have won just by putting us under this new big brother state. awfull times

As usual, the posting software added a space in the address. The last part is supposed to be:

B.Kind,
Potassium nitrate can be recovered from the dirt. Again, I refer to TM 31-210. Fact is, anybody that has a yard, unprinted paper, sugar, steel pipe or owns an automobile is guilty of possessing bomb-making materials. Additionally, the ingredients for gunpowder ( sulfur, carbon & potassium nitrate ) are contained in a product called "Gopher Gasser", available from hardware stores. It does not contain these ingredients in proper proportion for gunpowder, you would have to adjust them, but it does make a lot of toxic smoke.

http://home.scarlet.be/comicstrip/anarcook/indanarcook.html

I remember reading this in my teen years jest for the hell of it.

NEVER once have I try'ed or thought of trying anything form that silly book...

give the kid a break!

makes it look like he's intelligent by searching past history articles to post. Actually green shit, you're a fraud!

im not a terroist. But I would have no doupts that the Crown Prosecution Service would endevure to convict me for reading this material. They see in perfect black and white and dont give a shit if your a terroist or not. Its all about convictions, statistics and makeing MONEY. Tony Blair took teh Great out of "GREAT BRITAN" England rest in peices.

yo cloudy, you said that little bastard had potassium nitrate, ive been tryin to get my hands on that shit since i was 13, with the chemicals they said he had he was gonna make a big ass smoke-bomb

damn thats pretty harsh..but then,back in HS i had a copy of it too,but lent it to a friend and he got busted with it in class.sure enough the cops came into the picture..took him out of school for awhile,and investgated him.

Actually, military manual TM 31-210, produced by the Frankfort Arsenal gives very explicit instructions for producing improvised explosives, timers, fuses, weapons, silencers, and the like. This manual can easily be found on the net. Just enter "TM 31-210" and you should be able to get a number of selling sites. It should go without saying that you can easily annihilate yourself and your neighborhood using these expedient techniques, which were actually intended for use by U.S. special forces in the field.

the anarchists cookbook is bogus. it is full of half information. it is meant to hurt the user of the book.

don't get in trouble for having this book, it just isn't worth it.

still, getting arrested for being in possession of a book (any book)... also bogus.

thats mest up, when did a book become illegal to have? dam nasiz are at it again.

I see fascism is still alive and well in this fucked up place you call Earth.

What I'd like to know, in cases like this, is how the authorities found out that the guy had the reading material in the first place?
Do they have literature sniffing dogs?

The stoner's tabloid.

I used to own an original copy of that when I was in high school, and ya know what...most of it is bullshit. 90% of the data in those is more harmful to person trying to use it than any intended "victims". So I say the kid got a much needed wake-up call. Not too mention in this "Bush state mentality" that is an act of terrorism!!! Gnar kill

its the headlines that throw them off . Some didn't even read enough to see it took place in Great Britain .
C3 is probably the worst at that .
read more than the HEADLINES people . The are often mis-leading and meant to be shocking enough to make you READ the story ..

I think its funny how a lot of idiots (or just plain children) rush to the side of WHOEVER the authorities arrest for WHATEVER without knowing ANYTHING about the charges .

hint: HT is NOT the place to get your information . However , it WILL lead you to a SOURCE where you can get the WHOLE story ......

The kid did much more than to simply possess an eBook, eh?

3. which teen?

Yorkshire teenager in court on terror charges
A teenage British student from Dewsbury has appeared in court accused of plotting to make terrorist bombs following a trip to Pakistan.
The 17-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, allegedly bought chemicals for making explosives and had a copy of the 'Anarchists Cookbook' on his computer.

Piers Arnold, prosecuting, told City of Westminster Magistrates' Court that the book had instructions for 'viable' bombs with the potential to 'harm and seriously injure'.

The Muslim was arrested following an anti-terror raid on his home in Ravensthorpe, near Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, on September 12 this year.

Mr Arnold said: 'During the search approximately 500g of potassium nitrate were found under the defendant's bed in the room he shares with his younger brother.

'Potassium nitrate is a critical oxidising component of gunpowder.
'Also recovered was a file on a computer in the defendant's bedroom was the document entitled the Anarchist's Cookbook.

'There are 17 references to potassium nitrate in the Improvised Explosives section of the document which contains clear instructions on how to make explosives.'

The prosecutor said 250g of calcium chloride were also found which features in the chapter 'How to Make a Plastic Explosive'.

Videos including the devil's face made in smoke following the 9/11 attacks and beheadings, and references to jihad were also allegedly found at the address.

There was no bail application and District Judge Timothy Workman adjourned the hearing to September 27, when his bail situation will be reconsidered and a date set for committal to crown court.

The teenager is charged with possession of material for terrorism purposes under Section 57 of the Terrorism Act 2000, and with the collection or possession of information useful in the preparation of an act of terrorism, under Section 58 of the same act.

The teenager, who is from Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, has been charged with two offences.

Police said he was arrested on Tuesday and will appear before Westminster Magistrates Court on Wednesday morning.

The charges relate to possessing material for terrorism purposes and collecting or possessing information useful in preparing a terrorist act.

A 17-year-old from Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, has also been charged with offences under the Terrorism Act 2000.

Both were due to appear before City of Westminster magistrates in London today.

/article/238138/Boy_In_Court_
For_Possessing_Anarchists_Cookbook
The fear and terror continues. Now a 17 year old British teenager who is accused of simply possessing material for terrorist purposes has appeared in court and was then given bail.
BBC is reporting that he allegedly he had a copy of the "Anarchists' Cookbook", containing instructions on how to make home-made explosives.

The next court hearing has been set for 25 October. He faces two charges under the Terrorism Act 2000.

The first charge relates to his alleged possession of material for terrorist purposes in October last year. The second has to do with the collection or possession of information useful in the preparation of an act of terrorism.

They say he stood in the dock wearing a baggy, blue hooded top and only spoke to confirm his name and date of birth. He was probably to scared to even open his mouth.

After the hearing which lasted 40 minutes, the teenager was released on bail under several conditions.

Interestingly, there is a second 17-year-old who is facing similar charges and has already been remanded in custody and will also appear at the Crown Court in October.

I can't find any more info, but it seems as if he is being charged for simply having a book.

These are scary times. People are too scared and so rights get trampled on. If he had some sort of bad intent, then fine. But if he only had a book, then shame on the entire system.

I looked up this HT article to be sure of his race myself. So, am I a racist, or a pragmatist?

So the Pakistani kid had a CD of the book. I read the original black-covered 8 1/2 x 11 soft copy book when it came out in '71. It was almost as big as the Whole Earth Catalog! It was in all the bookstores and my local city library too.

I wonder if a 17yr Anglo-surnamed kid would be arrested for owning the book?

found online:

Shouldn't online cookbooks be banned?
Journalists may ask, "Isn't it terrible that people can get the Anarchist Cookbook over the net? Shouldn't this be stopped?"

Note that the Anarchist Cookbook is available from nearly any bookstore in the U.S. These dangerous institutions will also sell you Nazi and hate literature, pornography, instructions on growing drugs, and so forth. For some reason, getting this stuff from a bookstore is not news, but getting it over the Internet is. Before calling for restrictions on the Internet, think of how you would like these restrictions to be applied to books, which really provide much more dangerous information than the Internet does."

end

Americans still get to own this kind of data. The question remains. Neither article mentions any other activities the kid was up to.

Was simply owning the information enough to get him busted? C'mon, really?

Muslims plot to blow up BNP members

A British teenager who is accused of plotting to blow up members of the British National Party appeared in court today.
The 17-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, appeared at Westminster Magistrates Court in London to face two charges under the Terrorism Act 2000.

It is alleged that he had in his possession a copy of the “Anarchists’ Cookbook”, containing instructions about how to make home-made explosives.

The charges are that he was in possession of material for terrorist purposes in October last year and that he collected or had information useful in the preparation of an act of terrorism.

The teenager, who is a British national but has dual nationality with Pakistan, stood in the dock wearing a baggy, blue hooded
top.

He said nothing other than to confirm his name and date of birth, before prosecuting counsel Piers Arnold outlined the evidence before Judge Daphne Wickham.

He was arrested at an address in the Dewsbury area of West Yorkshire on Monday and taken to London this morning.

Judge Wickham ruled that the offences were not within the remit of the magistrates court and set a date for a committal hearing on October 25th.

After the 40-minute hearing, the teenager was released on bail under several conditions.

These included reporting daily to police, living at his home address, only leaving home in the company of a named adult, and not being allowed to access a computer, use an internet cafe, or use a mobile phone.

A second 17-year-old facing similar charges, who has already been remanded in custody but cannot be named, will also appear for committal to the Crown Court on October 25.

You can find a link to the on-line version of this book at Wikipedia. Is Wikipadia therefore a terrorist organisation too? Or, you can easily download that book for free at many sites, but apparently are not allowed to read it, what BS is that? And what about "(how to make your own) Hallinocenic Drugs" by Dr. Buzz, a book that you can easily find in the US, for which I can assure you that the described recepies are genuine?

Green Hit you nailed it on the head SHUT UP NEEDS TO SHUT UP and keep retarded comments to himself. Dumb ass Dumb ass

there is more to the book than just making bombs. talk about a dumb dumb. And by the way. Any one who supports this arrest is a terrorist themselves.

They can sell it, but you can't possess it? What kind of b.s. is that? Arrest the publishers then. What a dirty world we live in....

for real ....

the person who made the first two comments. DRAMA WHAT

i love the educational books that really help people in life>>>>who the fuck needs to know how to make a god damn bomb that book should be diminished. but hooah for capitalism. and person below me you're a dumb dumb

I am almost continually finding fault with the United States and its doings, but it's at times like this that I remember how fortunate I am to be an American citizen and to enjoy an unqualified Constitutional right to think, say, read and write whatever I please.
God Bless America.

sorry. i thought that this was in america. still, regardless of where it takes place, this is not something that should be allowed to take place, it may not be a constitutional infraction, as i don't really know the british law terribly well, but nonetheless, for a government that condemns countries like iran and north korea for their lack of human rights, i think it's high time(teehee) we take a look at the actions of our allies

PRESIDENT


WOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO

what a ridiculous consitutitional infraction. this kid has the right to read whatever the fuck he wants. that's the whole idea of the laissez faire government. you trust your citizens to be responsible in this situation. the fact that somehow someone could go to jail for what they read is the most preposterous unfounded idea ive ever heard, this is simply a quickly increasing government interference in our lives that needs to be curtailed


ps. first
