Large stash of "terrorism handbooks" found in Williamsburg

Dozens of bomb making books have been discovered at an apartment complex in Williamsburg.

A man stumbled upon the material at the Governor Square Apartments on Ironbound Road.

James City County Police turned the books over to the anti-terrorism division of the state police, and their investigation at some point could wind up in California.

Cary Peet is repairing air conditioners at Governor Square Apartments in James City County. With his work, he's always throwing stuff away in the dumpsters. And every now and then, he finds something of interest someone else has tossed. But, the crate of books he found recently in this dumpster concerned him.

"I feel like the police simply have to check everything nowadays because the one thing they don't check could turnout to be bad," said Peet, who called police after reading some of the titles on the 62 books, all of which had something to do with terrorism.

"There were books covering topics from terrorism to how to torture, bomb making, snipers, Things along that line,” said Maj. Stan Stout of James City County Police. “There were some unclassified military training manuals for weapons systems and the U.S. Army.”

Had there been just a couple of books, authorities may not have been as concerned. But Stout described the find as a library of terrorists books. There were also two names in one of them, and a West Coast address.

"It had a California address. I don't know if they were college students, because the apartment complex has a lot of college students living there," said Stout.

“I thought this is nothing, probably,” said Peet. “But I don't want to wake up one morning and discover somebody used to live in governor square set off a bomb some place.”

The two names found in one of the books were not Arabic.
