A BOMB-making handbook, loaned through Kendal Library and subsequently seized by police in Kent following a raid on the home of a reader suspected of plotting an explosion, has been returned.

Cumbria Library Service loaned The Anarchist's Cookbook - a reference book that includes instructions on how to make a bomb - to Kent Library Service after it received a request from one of its own users.

But the book, by Peter M. Bergman, was returned to Kendal Library last week with details of how it had been seized by Kent Police during a raid and kept in custody ever since.
