NORMAN, Okla. -- The general manager of a Norman feed store said Tuesday that Joel Henry Hinrichs III had inquired about purchasing a significant amount of ammonium nitrate, the primary ingredient used in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing.

Dustin Ellison, the general manager of Ellison Feed & Seed on Porter Avenue, said that a man matching Hinrichs' description had come into the store days before he blew himself up on OU's campus. Ellison said the man asked about ammonium nitrate, but couldn't offer a reason why he needed it.

After the bombing, Ellison said he thought nothing of it. However, when he saw Hinrichs' photo, it triggered his memory.

To this point, authorities still suggest Hinrichs' only motive for blowing himself up was suicide. The FBI released a statement Tuesday evening saying that "there is no known link between Hinrichs and any terrorist or extremist organization(s) or activities."

The release also indicated that the FBI believes there is "no known current threat posed by any additional explosive materials."

Ellison noted that his store doesn't carry ammonium nitrate any longer after recent legislation required new paperwork for stores to sell the product.

"To this point, authorities still suggest Hinrichs' only motive for blowing himself up was suicide. The FBI released a statement Tuesday evening saying that "there is no known link between Hinrichs and any terrorist or extremist organization(s) or activities."

Sounds like heavy BS to me.

Jayna is not a reporter anymore, sadly. Her book was excellent and she will hopefully get on this story independently.

"Joel Henry Hinrichs III had inquired about purchasing a significant amount of ammonium nitrate, the primary ingredient used in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing"

Well, it does look as if something bigger was afoot now, doesn't it?

Yep, and you are going to go to a crowded football stadium for the purpose of suicide by explosion, right? The fact that they found Jihadist materials in Hinrichs' flat is only a coincidence, too, right?

When McVeigh did his dirty deed, no stone was left unturned in outing white supremicists and militias. How many people were killed in OKC, 140? Compare that to 9-11 and expend at least the same amount of effort on the Islamofacists!

Is there any new/further info about him having a Pakistani roommate and that he (Hinrick's) frequented a mosque?

Yes, it does.

This is the recurring phrase in most of the articles on Google News about this case:

"...died Saturday when a device attached to his body exploded".

There was much less hedging when the pizza delivery guy in the North East had his head blown off by a bomb that someone else allegedly locked around his neck.

Did Hinrichs blow himself up while the OU band played Boomer Sooner?

Plenty of stones that led to Iraqis were not just left unturned, but completely ignored.

Well, supposedly digitalbrownshirt heard the local CBS TV affiliate's reporters saying something about this about an hour ago, but it's nowhere to be found on the 'net or the MSM.

The substitute host for Savage said tonight there was more to the story. I only caught a minute of it. Can anyone follow up?

Thanks for posting this.

Nothing to see here, move along.

Maybe he wanted the AN to make his suicide bombing more effective.
