Edit: I went looking for a donation website and it seems that the vultures have already set up fake donation sites on Twitter and etc. to take advantage of this crisis for their personal gain.

I seriously would love to get my hands on one of these f*ckers.

I can't find anything official openly accepting money, I'm not sure how to help you. Good luck on your search.

EDIT: Donate to the Red Cross

The Boston Fire fighters have set up an account at a credit union.

It's slow, I am sure they are overloaded right now. It was just mentioned on CNN

Having books that detail certain things is not a problem. Having people that DO these things is the problem.

Myself, I see it as important that some people know how the terrorists work so that they are better aware of what to look for when trying to stop such attacks.

I stumbled upon an Al Quada handbook when I found the Poor Man books, as well as numerous other titles, including plenty of utter hogwash. Never got fully through the Al Quada stuff (painfully boring). But I always wondered if it was a bad idea to have that file on my computer, unread or not. Never had any indication that it was illegal, though I wonder if that's the first thing they'd bring up.

"He stole $23 and a can of beans. Terrorist documents found on hard drive."

Didn't you get the memo about storing your terrorist documents on the net?

It's just silly to keep anything like that on your own HDD.

Black powder in the pressure cookers and loaded with shrapnel according to the news. My youngest is 8. I don't think I could forgive these people. Seeking vengeance would become my raison d'etre.

That's pretty low tech, isn't it? This could be anybody. You can buy black powder easily can't you? I recall Myth Busters trying to make their own and found it very difficult to get it right, but I would think all the blackpowder shooters can get it easily.

The Edmonton Public Library used to have all sorts of books like that - The Anarchist's Cookbook, How to Pick Locks, Get Even, Get Even 2, etc.

So that's one possibility then. Here's another. Ever hear of Al Qaida's online magazine Inspire?

$1:

Inspire magazine promoted "open source jihad". This shifted away from al Qaeda’s traditional terrorist attacks to simple attacks by individuals using common items for weapons. The Summer 2010 issue advised making a pipe bomb using everyday materials ("How to make a bomb in the kitchen of your mom"). The Fall 2010 issue encouraged using one's car to "mow down" people in crowded places ("The ultimate mowing machine"). The Winter 2010 issue discussed how to blow up buildings. These provided individuals with simple ideas for terror attacks, without direct ties to al Qaeda or its affiliates. It had become too great a threat to travel abroad and receive training in al Qaeda training camps, and direct contact with al Qaeda members endangered the member and the aspiring terrorist. Therefore AQAP's "open source jihad" promoted attacks without the support of a physical community. Marc Sageman, a leading expert in the field, described this phenomenon as "leaderless Jihad".[21] While he considered this threat as "self-limiting" and one that would quickly die out, the difficulties in stopping the lone wolf attackers were great.

Are there a lot of incidents where people learned to make a pressure cooker bomb from the Anarchist Cookbook? Inspire magazine has a bit of a record.

$1:

One was an Army private linked to the 2010 Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan, who had reportedly been taking bomb-making tips from the al Qaeda’s short-lived (literally) magazine Inspire and had various weapons and explosives along with his cooking pot. (The magazine reportedly recommended pressure cookers as explosive devices.) A 2010 suicide bomber in Stockholm had rigged a pressure cooker bomb that failed to detonate. And as a newer DHS warning about the kitchen devices noted, the failed 2010 SUV bomb in New York’s Times Square was a pressure cooker device featuring 120 firecrackers. The same DHS memo refers to a March 2010 bombing with a pressure cooker at a western Christian aid agency in Pakistan that killed six people.

It's very easy to obtain....or it was. In highschool, we use to fill aluminum arrow shafts with it and then put a primer on the tip. It made a large bang when it struck something hard just right

Perfectly understandable sentiment.
