According to an indictment, Baptiste posted documents online in November 2016 that included “Instructions: How to Make a Homemade Pipe Bomb,” “Pipe Bombs,” “Improvised Explosive Devices” and “Improvised Munitions Black Book, Volume 1.”
Prosecutors say Baptiste posted the information for people who he believed were acting on behalf of the Islamic State terrorist group.
