A phone and tablet device were also examined which included the voice mess-age about the 2001 Twin Towers atrocity and him discussing with others 'murdering all the people who wronged you'.
A Scot held in a terror probe claimed he would make the 9/11 attacks 'look like an episode of the Teletubbies'.
Curtis Ross had a fascination with 'Unabomber' Ted Kaczynski – the lone wolf terrorist who killed three Americans and injured many others over nearly 20 years.
Ross, 24, had been arrested after posting online a clip of himself blowing up two gas canisters near the River Leven in Methil, Fife. His home was raided and police found a drawing marked 'Project Payback'.
A phone and tablet device were also examined which included the voice message about the 2001 Twin Towers atrocity and him discussing with others 'murdering all the people who wronged you'.
Ross appeared in the dock last week at the High Court in Glasgow.
He pled guilty to a charge of behaving in a threatening and abusive manner which included sending the concerning messages and voice notes on Snapchat and Facebook, causing an explosion, filming it and putting the footage on social media between June 25 and July 31 last year.

He had a not guilty plea to a charge under the Terrorism Act accepted. Ross was remanded in custody and will be sentenced at a later date.
A Facebook friend of Ross had spotted the explosion video in July last year.
Detectives – along with Counter Terrorism officers – searched his home in the town. They found the 'Project Payback' drawing along with a sketch of a 'homemade explosive device '. Inside a desk were various items including a roll of wire, mobile phone batteries, nails, screws and a watch.
The court heard there were also photos, videos and sketches of the 'Unabomber' on the devices as well as images of a pipe bomb and firearms together with 'various other clips which suggest violence'.
