The bomb that rocked a New York City neighborhood on Saturday night contained residue of an explosive often used for target practice that can be picked up in many sporting goods stores, a federal law enforcement official said Sunday, according to The Associated Press.
The discovery of Tannerite in materials recovered from the explosion that injured 29 people may be important as authorities probe whether the blast was connected to an unexploded pressure-cooker device found by state troopers just blocks away, as well as a pipe bomb blast in a New Jersey shore town earlier in the day.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who toured the site of the blast in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood, said there didn't appear to be any link to international terrorism. He said the second device appeared "similar in design" to the first, but did not provide details.
"We're going to be very careful and patient to get to the full truth here," New York's mayor, Bill de Blasio, said Sunday, according to AP. "We have more work to do to be able to say what kind of motivation was behind this. Was it a political motivation? A personal motivation? What was it? We do not know that yet."

Regardless, more from the “religion of peace.” What we needs is a few thousand more undocumented refugees from Syria, right Hillary?
Buy prilled AN and get Al dust separately.
I would have no idea where to get any.
I remember in the late 40s or early 50s, my Father would blow stumps with I think a quarter stick of dynamite. I wonder where he got it?
He was a combat engineer in WWII and I can remember his talking about their using TNT and how it was very safe. Maybe that qualified him to purchase dynamite.
Definitely a strange one, I am not convinced who this is or why..
It was fun while it lasted.
As far as blowing out stumps with a quarter stick of dynamite, my dad talked about that too. You could get dynamite in hardware stores back then. ‘Back then’ meaning pre-WWII.
Back in those years you could buy dynamite at local hardware or farm supplys no questions asked.
Well, here in Texas you could. We always had some here at our ranch.
California will be 1st to ban it I’ll bet.
My grandfather was a shot charge in a PA coalmine, responsible for setting the charges to blast the seams of coal. He kept a crate of dynamite at the house which he bought at the company store and helped local farmers and property owners clear stumps.

Good lord,and I used to be concerned about the anti-freeze in the garage. :-)

Yep...I knew this was eventually going to happen and a ban would follow...just didn’t expect it soon.
United Chemical sells the base ingredients in 50lbs lots
I doubt the Tannerite residue. Doesn’t make much sense.
It does, this might not have been a purely Tannerite explosion. However, I’ve read that blasting caps will also set it off.
I could see someone using Tannerite as the source for ammonium nitrate
