NYC Bomb Suspects Had a Terrorist Encyclopedia; Couple Had Explosives, Shotgun, Ammo in Apt.

Police arrested a New York City couple in their apartment on December 29, after authorities investigating a credit card theft found a highly explosive compound, bomb-making manuals, a sawed-off shotgun, and ammunition, the Reuters website reports today (December 31, 2012).

Morgan Gliedman, 27, and Aaron Greene, 31, are being charged with two counts of suspicion of criminal possession of a weapon, for the shotgun, court documents show.

One sheaf of papers found in the apartment had a cover page that read "The Terrorist Encyclopedia," according to court documents.

Police went to the couple's Greenwich Village apartment on December 29 to question Gliedman -- the daughter of a prominent New York doctor -- to investigate a credit card theft. At the apartment, detectives discovered a plastic bottle containing seven grams of Hexamethylene triperoxide (HMTD), court documents show. HMTD is commonly used in homemade bombs.
