This article is really poorly written. You can't buy the "explosive" McVeigh used, because that "explosive" isn't commercially available. Instead, he more likely was trying to purchase the COMPONENTS of said explosive, those being ammonium nitrate and diesel.

I saw a show on the History Channel last week that said that instead of using Fuel oil, McVeigh used nitro methane (race car fuel). But, I concur, he was probably trying to purchase large quantities of bomb making components.

Actually, you can't buy the explosive he used because HE ALREADY USED IT; you can't "reuse" explosives once they have blown up.
