A British teenager who is accused of possessing material for terrorist purposes has appeared in court.

The 17-year-old, who was arrested in the Dewsbury area of West Yorkshire on Monday, was given bail after a hearing at Westminster Magistrates' Court.

It is alleged he had a copy of the "Anarchists' Cookbook", containing instructions on how to make home-made explosives.

His next court hearing has been set for 25 October.

The teenager faces two charges under the Terrorism Act 2000.

The first charge relates to the possession of material for terrorist purposes in October last year.

The second relates to the collection or possession of information useful in the preparation of an act of terrorism.

He stood in the dock wearing a baggy, blue hooded top and only spoke to confirm his name and date of birth.

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

A second 17-year-old who is facing similar charges has already been remanded in custody and will also appear at the Crown Court on 25 October.

LOL! I bought that 20 years ago and it was old then.

Older than dirt news. Powers that be in the UK? You suck!

I had a copy of that when I was 15 taken away from me by a cop. No charges filed but it was the late 70’s and I was pretty sure he just wanted it for himself. He was already starting to read it as he was mumbling something about me “moving along and staying out of trouble.”

good thing this kid doesn’t have access to the internet.

[SubGeniusX]

Thats true, because because if he did he might be able to find things like....

following instructions in the AC is likely to get the user killed... William Powell did not know what the hell he was doing...

They used to sell them right next to the Zig-Zag man posters .

Before 9-11 the cookbook was available on the net.
After 9-11 I’ve been too afraid to reference it because I don’t need a visit from the F.B.I.
I see what a visit from those folks did for the Randy Weaver family.

[SubGeniusX]

Well the E.U. is working on that also...

Web search for bomb recipes should be blocked: EU

My dad, a retired cop now, had a copy that he had taken away from someone. I'll ask him if you can have it back now :-)

The policies of this administartion w/ the PATRIOT act etc... are not far off from this... we have not yet gotten to the Orwellian brink that the U.K. is at but we are very close ...
