Recipes for Disaster: an anarchist cookbook

The last stop at the experimental fiar farm was the mink bams, where I stripped each cage of its breeder identification card. With the cards stuffed in my pack, I picked two mink to rescue, and transferred them into their detachable nest boxes. By the time I had set these boxes in some bushes close to the state highway and radioed for a pick-up, an hour and a half had passed since I was dropped off". Within minutes, my getaway driver was flashing the brights of the car, signaling before pulflng to a stop.

After a quick stop at a gas station to dump the breeding cards, I exchanged my pack for the one containing the incendiary device, and we drove to the MSU campus. My driver dropped me behind Anthony Hall, and parked at liie spot across from the building from which we had done our reconnaissance. Walking briskly in the late winter

You can use cotton work gloves to

keep your fingerprints ofl^places they

don't belong. Leather gloves should

be avoided, as they leave their own

unique fingerprints, and latex gloves

are good for light work, but retain

fingerprints on the inside?so be very

careful how you dispose of them.

Sabotage 452

night did not look suspicious, as it was cold. After glancing behind for anyone watching, I walked across the front of Anthony Hall to a ground floor window that was unlatched. I pulled the window open, lifted myself inside, and shut ft behind me.

I peered around the comer, then climbed the flight of stairs to the first floor where Aulerich's office was located. I pulled a ski mask over my face, as this was the time I was most vulnerable to being seen. Kneeling before the door to the office, I pulled the small pry bar from my pack and broke the wooden ventilation slats in the door, then reached inside to unlock ft. Although I had inspected the office as best as I could from the outside vnndows, it was still possible that breaking in would trigger an unseen alarm. My driver had the scanner, though, and would hear any university police dispatch.

I stepped into Aulerich's office and went straight to work scavenging wood to serve as kindling once the incendiary device ignited. I pufted every file drawer out so the records would be destroyed by the firefighters' water, if not by the fire. I didn't bother destroying anything else, as the noise might attract attention and the fire would hopefiilly take care of everything. I placed the incendiary device below a pile of desk drawers, set the dial on the one-hour timer for 54 minutes, and set the exposed light bulb "trigger" on an opened Stemo liquid fiiel can. Just above ffie can were two two-liter plastic bottles filled with a mixture of fiiel and oft; when they melted, they would dump the flammable liquid over the wood.
