I think making gun powder is very simple. There's loads of youtube videos, 
and I imagine that a couple of pipe bombs would be far easier and more 
explosive than car battery bombs.

Fun fact... a swedish wanna be terrorist was caught because he went into a 
hardware store bought 20 car batteries and the store thought it was 
suspicious that a bearded gentleman from the middle east should suddenly 
buy 20 car batteries! =D
