Al Qaeda magazine on pressure cookers: ‘Make a bomb in the kitchen of your mom’
Washigton Times ^ | 4/16/13 | ap

CAIRO — Homemade bombs built from pressure cookers, a version of which was used in the Boston Marathon bombings, have been a frequent weapon of militants in Afghanistan, India and Pakistan. Al-Qaeda’s branch in Yemen once published an online manual on how to make one, urging “lone jihadis” to act on their own to carry out attacks.

President Barack Obama underlined Tuesday that investigators do not know if the twin bombing the day before that killed three people and wounded more than 170 was carried out by an international organization, a domestic group or a “malevolent individual.” There has been no claim of responsibility.

No pressure cooker sales without background checks. A national pressure cooker registry is the only solution to keep our citizens safe from pressure cookers.

I own a pressure cooker! Not only that, my mom gave it to me under murky circumstances: she bought it at a garage sale! Will I have to register my pressure cooker or face confiscation?

We MUST BAN Pressure Cookers. “If it’ll save at least one life, we must do all we can to stop it.”

Dear God.

Keep quiet about the PC.

Wait for your local Pressure Cooker Buy-Back Program.
Get dolluhs or gift cards for it, no questions asked. Buy Ammo or magazines.

wiki....

‘A pressure cooker bomb is an improvised explosive device (IED) made by placing explosives, such as TNT, into a pressure cooker and attaching a blasting cap at the top of the cooker.[1]

Pressure cooker bombs are relatively easy to make, as only readily available materials are needed. The bomb can be ignited using simple electronic devices such as digital watches, garage door openers, cell phones or pagers.[1] The power of the explosion depends on the size of the pressure cooker and the amount of explosives.[2]

Pressure cooker bombs have been widely used in terror and IED attacks in Afganistan, India and Pakistan. In recent years, as of 2013, there have been several plots involving pressure cooker bombs in France and the United States.[3][4] In 2004, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security issued an alert regarding pressure cooker bombs, saying that they were “a technique commonly taught in Afghan terrorist training camps”.[2]

Instructions for making pressure cooker bombs were published in the al-Qaeda-linked Inspire magazine in 2011.[5]

Pressure cooker bombs were reportedly used in the bombing of the 2013 Boston Marathon.[6]”

Canned goods from the garden. Wife uses hers for beans, corn, carrots, taters, peaches, pears, etc. Great for meat...like venison with a cube of beef bullion.
