Georgia Tech student Syed Ahmed, 21, pleaded not guilty to charges of material support for terrorism. Ehsanul Sadequee, 19, is being jailed in Brooklyn after being arrested in Bangladesh on charges of making false statements to the FBI upon his departure from JFK Airport.Native born Americans or here on expired student visas?

What I want to know is how these people got thier hands on 3000 lbs of Ammonium Nitrate. After OKC, I thought there were worldwide safeguards put into place to prevent exactly this kind of situation from happening.
Maybe it was the tracking of the AN that resulted in the raid; I have not heard that yet, but I suppose it is possible...

I think Canadian authorities allowed them to buy it as part of their sting.

Good point, I'm not sure just how or if there are any Canadian laws, regulations and/ or restrictions on chemicals, specially chemicals with potential hazardous or lethal use.

I guess it wouldn't be that hard to accumulate so much, if you bought one or two bags from 50 different stores, over the course of a few weeks.

The tonnage was three times the amount used in the 1995 bombing of the federal building in Oklahoma City.A classic case of the media "inventing" the truth. This three times the amount quote has been repeated over and over until it is now accepted fact.
Google "Murrah Building Bombing", and you will get numerous links which report the OKC bombing was around 4800 to 5000 pounds of ammonium nitrate. Don't mean to downplay the Canadian bust, but if would help the cause if the reporting was a little more truthful/accurate.

Take into account that the 3 tons are metric tons.
1 metric ton = 1000 Kg = 2205 lb

15 ROPers -- that's only 200 pounds each. What's in a bag, 10 pounds, 20 pounds, 50 pounds?
15 guys, each picking up a bag of fertilizer, over a two month period ... wouldn't be noticed by anyone.

Ammonium nitrate isn't considered a hazardous chemical. As a farmer, I have to have a pesticide license to buy chemicals but anyone can buy fertilizer. Of course, in most places where you could get 3000 lbs of fertilizer they would know whether or not someone was a farmer and had a legitimate use for it.

That is very true. Being in the HVA/C business, having need for many types of chemicals (biocides, algaecides, corrosion control and inhibitors) people in my industry are required to have EPA licenses which require written tests in purchasing, storage, transportation and use of chemicals. We also have to maintain usage logs to explain consumption, all of which have to be presented for review and inspection to Federal EPA and state / local agencies.
