[N] EW YORK -- A Bronx man who booby-trapped his apartment with homemade bombs accidentally blew his left hand off Thursday morning, the police said, [snip] Just what Saperstein -- who has a criminal record dating back to 1983 for weapons possession, disorderly conduct and drug possession -- was doing with all the explosives puzzled investigators. "There's no indication he was involved in any group," said a police investigator, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. "There were no rantings or anarchist writings of any kind." [snip] [end of quoted material] Good thing this guy didn't have a folder of old cypherpunks messages on a hard drive! Then he'd *really* be in trouble I guess.

They don't mention whether he learned how to make bombs on the Internet, which means they haven't ruled out this possibility either. --- Dr.Dimitri Vulis KOTM Brighton Beach Boardwalk BBS, Forest Hills, N.Y.: +1-718-261-2013, 14.4Kbps
