UK - Woman charged under anti-terror laws

Of course that's not the headline al Reuters uses. In fact, the word Muslim appears nowhere in the entire report. Heavens knows we musn't offend Muslims who are trying to kill us.

LONDON (Reuters) - Police on Thursday charged a woman on terrorism-related offences for possession of a computer hard drive loaded with operating manuals for guns, poisons, mines and munitions.

Police said the charges against the woman were connected with the arrest last month of a man caught at Heathrow airport in possession of a night vision scope and a poisons handbook.

Police said among the items on the hard drive found in her possession were the Al Qaeda Manual, The Terrorists Handbook, The Mujahideen Poisons Handbook, a manual for a Dragunov sniper rifle, The Firearms and RPG Handbook, a manual for a 9mm pistol and a manual on how to win hand to hand fighting.


But here's the sticky wicket, wouldn't an anti-terrorist professor or professional carry much of the same material? Know thy enemy and all that.
