BABY 'BOMB' BUST

By BRAD HUNTER and LARRY CELONA of the New York Post

February 5, 2002 -- A would-be teen terrorist, wanted by the FBI for
allegedly posting a how-to-blow-things-up Web site, was nabbed during
World Economic Forum demonstrations, cops said yesterday.

Sherman Austin, 18, of tony Sherman Oaks, Calif., was arrested Saturday
for disorderly conduct during a demonstration at 59th Street and Fifth
Avenue.

They soon discovered that Austin was suspected by the feds of posting
explosives information on the Internet. When investigators raided his
apartment Jan 24, they said they discovered a treasure-trove of
mischief-making tools.

In addition to computers, they found literature advocating revolution,
gas canisters, iced-tea bottles filled with flammable material, gas
masks and an anarchist flag.

Austin's car contained fertilizer, cans of brake fluid and two gas
canisters. He runs an anarchist Web site that provides a litany of
methods that can be used for urban thuggery - including making
explosives.

He has been turned over to the feds.

Meanwhile, the final day of demonstrations wrapped up in front of Arthur
Andersen's 1365 Sixth Ave. offices with nary a whimper.

About 150 protesters slammed the corporate gluttony of Enron and its
embattled auditor Andersen, but refrained from confronting a wall of
cops.

The march was watched closely by about 150 cops, and there were no
arrests.

Chanting, "Andersen cooks Enron's books," the anti-globalization
protesters included an array of aging hippies, college students and
union members.

"We believe we have a right to be here," said "Starhawk," who said she
lives in San Francisco. "Our resolve is strengthened despite police
intimidation."

Organizers said that many of the protesters who had traveled to the Big
Apple to protest the World Economic Forum at the Waldorf-Astoria have
now gone home.

Starhawk said the Sept. 11 terror attack on New York was a key factor in
lowering the tempo of the demonstrations.  She said the New York
organizers wanted any action to be peaceful.
