Title: Bomb-Making Online: An Abridged Sketch of Federal Criminal Law
Authors: Charles Doyle, American Law Division 
Abstract: Offenses complementary to Subsection 842(p) of title 18 of the United States Code include bans on instruction in the use of explosives in furtherance of a civil disorder and on providing material assistance to terrorists and terrorist organizations. Moreover, federal law outlaws aiding and abetting, or conspiring to commit any federal crime, or soliciting another to commit any federal crime of violence. Bomb-making instruction might be part and parcel of aiding and abetting, conspiring to commit, or soliciting the commission of a number of underlying federal crimes involving the misuse of explosives or weapons of mass destruction.
