‘Anarchist’s Cookbook’ Writer Admits Terror Offences

A man who wrote a terrorists’ handbook using information from an al-Qaeda training manual has pleaded guilty to offences under the Terrorism Act. Terrance Brown, 46, from Portsmouth, compiled CDs which included instructions about how to build bombs. The discs, called the Anarchist’s Cookbook, were sold for $35 (£23). This particular cookbook differs then from William Powell’s 1971 book by a similar title, though (confusingly enough) the linked Wikipedia article implies that the father-and-son pair arrested possessed a copy of the Powell book as well; its text may well have been among the materials that Brown distributed — via Slashdot
