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.

Confirms: Pakistani Rommate
Confirms: He was seen at Mosque
Says: Nobody knew where he was for months at a time
Well now, I wonder if he took a little side trip somewhere...maybe to some training camp?
Thanks for the ping.
"Continuing saga of missing ammo, guy on ebay told me he had my dorm address, didn't register that address with ebay"
Any ebayers on FR, that might know how to go about locating this "guy on ebay" to determine what Hinrichs was trying to buy from him, and why it freaked this guy out enough to basically tell Hinrichs "I know where you live," even though Hinrichs had not given that information to him?
Probably just a college internship with CAIR, you know, to feel the love.
I agree..there is something here that just does'nt pass the smell test
I'm watching, fanfan.
Most interesting. How grateful I am that he only took himself off the face of the earth.
Imagine how horrific this could have been.
His suicide note referenced Bin Laden, had the phrase "terrorist act I am about to commit" (the word 'terrorist' was crossed out). The note was not released for over month. It later appeared on the Smoking Gun website.

CYA???
Confirm: The bomber had a Pakistani Roommate Confirm: He was seen at a Mosque that is Very close his apartment. Say: Nobody would know where the bomber was for months at a time over the last 2 years. Say: The student attempted a large fertilizer purchase a few days before the bomb went off.
This is a very solid source.
This website is a combined website of the Daily Oklahoman newspaper and Channel 9 Television. It will probably require registration to view the video.The link is located in the middle of the page and is entitled: "Student Attempted Fertilizer Purchase".
The video is a segment of today's newscast and it will:

Wasn't there denial initially that the latest Bali bombing had any ties to AQ?
The M.O. has been the same in all of these attacks (including the DC snipers) but the media still is last to consider the primary reason in such attacks.
Not while Tom DeLay is under INDICTMENT!!!
We (FR) also were the ones who blew the lid off the connection between the snipers and the 5 Percent Nation (the prison gang that is a Muslim offshoot). AP picked it up an hour later.
And Charles Bishiop/Bishra was 'reportedly' a "young conservative" but he still supported OBL, the 9/11 attacks, and was a "lone nut" jihadist.
Pajama people rule!
How enraging that the public is not informed. Once these people kill another 150 people they will confabulate a cover and perhaps an unbelievable cartoon like the one for Flight 800. I wish the government would treat us like adults. If we get the truth we can make good decisions. Disgusting. I thought more of Boren than this.
Perfectly acceptable in OKC. He didn't look like a "Timothy McVeigh" type of "right wing extremist".

That's like saying you wish the dog would leave the bone alone. Treating people like children is the very nature of government.
thank you!
