WASHINGTON (AP) Federal authorities searched Wednesday for a man using a Middle Eastern name and possible bogus construction credentials to try to purchase large quantities of the same explosive used by Timothy McVeigh to blow up the Oklahoma City federal building.

Have you folks seen this?

"Richard Reid, Charles Bishop, and even John Lindh-Walker knew when to use their muslim names and when to use their Western names.

What IS a Middle Eastern name in such a world?"

Good Point - Wonder if this was another "test" like that college kid who brought a brick of play-doh on a plane.

Ihad not seen this. Thanks for the ping.

It seem the ghost of Timothy McVeigh lives on.

Perhaps only Saddam Hussein knows for sure.

"This evidence has been compiled in a 500-page report that will be released soon by a private group called the Oklahoma Bombing Investigation Committee."

I believe this report was already published in 2001, Entitled, "Final Report on the Bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building April 19, 1995. (Charles Keyes).

I've had mine for a long time now.

The ole "Middle Eastern" name, eh?

I'm surprised they even gave that much of a description!

(ANFO)Ammonium Nitrate mixed with No. 2 Fuel Oil @ 6% by weight is NOT an explosive, it CANNOT be detenated by a Blasting Cap. It needs a High Order Explosive to initiate it, such as a Cast Booster or Cap Sensitive Powder (40% Gel)

ANFO is used in construction blasting applications because it produces a lot of gas which aids in the breaking of the rock.

ANFO used with a cap sensitive powder is a great cost effective system in the correct type of rock.

The correct calculation of powder is critical to preventing the "Hollywood" effect of shooting, you want to break the rock, not throw it.

I have been involved in the business for 30 years.

Thanks for the cross post Velveeta. I hope The Threat Matrix folks chew on this for a while. Would be a good discussion.

Heard a blurb about it on FoxNews. Said it wasn't "terror related"..........DUH!!!

"...Talk with a master blaster, or someone who really knows the math involved and you will soon learn the explosives supposedly used would blow out windows but couldn't possibly have done that much damage to the building from that distance....."

What would, in your opinion?

[joesnuffy]

brisance and construction grade or homemade anfo low correlation

[SFC Chromey]

Do the math....

...but math is so hard, my head hurts thinking about it!

Ammonium nitrate and fuel oil? Yikes!

Islamofascist skin and pig fat? Triple Yikes !!! ;-))

I am so done with the LSM (Lame Stream Media). I haven't gotten cable/sat TV yet in the new place. I may not.

There could be a nuclear detonation in Washington DC and the LSM would come on the air and say it's not terrorist related.

Any ME person wanting to by explosives or rent a U-Haul or take flying lessons IS terrorist related.

I'm sick of the gov't and the LSM trying so hard not to upset the sheeple that they've resorted to reporting flat out lies. People NEED to be upset and worried. People NEED to remember 9/11/01. I remember it every day. Every morning of check my kit, load it in the car, drive to work and hope we are not attacked again.

Seems most people are too weak mentally to deal with it. Too bad. We can deal with it now, face the cold hard truth, suck it up, and PREVENT another attack or we can pretend it never happened and deal with the aftermath of an even deadlier and more destructive attack.

WAKE UP AMERICA! You are under attack!
