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.
Stay tuned to Eyewitness News 5 for further details.
He was a sick puppy.
Now we need to know was he sick by himself or did some imported jihadists make him sick.
I am listening to Rick Roberts subbing for Michael Savage today.
Roberts said Jihad materials were found in the bomber's apartment.
Someone posted in the live thread Saturday that they talked to the bomber's frat brothers and they said he was not associated with Islam.

Apparently, there is still more info to come to light on this.
"Now we need to know was he sick by himself or did some imported jihadists make him sick."
Predators are skilled at recognizing weakness. He was likely very suggestible and open to their efforts. Children of academic lefties are uniquely malleable in this regard, a literal empty vessel waiting to be filled; think John Walker Lindh.
"there is no known link between Hinrichs and any terrorist or extremist organization(s) or activities."
Neither was the unibomber or Eric Rudolph and according to FBI claims Tim McVeigh.
Which one? Too late for Hinrichs...
Maybe that's the out word on that one. Maybe they don't have any links that they want to KNOW for public consumption right now. That's ok as long as (a) they have a good but temporary reason for keeping people in the dark (to track down perps and build the links); (b) they come clean when they do know what's up.
Recent evidence suggests they may never let it out. But I think this one is just too public, with too many loose ends, they will have to release what they know because there are too many people who know pieces of it. There is also going to be heavy, heavy pressure from the Univ of Oklahoma administration to keep the wraps on this one.
Didn't he note during the Fraternity's minutes about trying to buy "ammo" on Ebay, and some guy maybe getting his address?
This guy was a Jihad terrorist.
"Maybe they don't have any links that they want to KNOW for public consumption right now ..."
You have your known knowns, and your unknown knowns.
And your unknown unknowns.
Canada ping!
Any of you folks not watching this unfold?
"And your unknown unknowns."
Those are the ones that'll really getcha.
Works for me...
Isn't that a tip off... ever since 1995?
"Isn't that a tip off... ever since 1995?"
Yep, particularly in OK, I'd think. We've fallen asleep again.
