ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Fears of home-grown terrorism shuttered through Graniteville last night when local and federal authorities uncovered about 2,500 pounds of potentially explosive chemicals stashed in a home and nearby storage facility.

Potassium nitrate, sulfur, mercury and peroxide were among the 21 different types of chemicals discovered during a raid of 199 Ada Drive, police said. Quantities ranged from 5 pounds to 215 pounds, according to one law enforcement official speaking on the condition on anonymity.

The disturbing discovery led to the evacuation of more than 200 residents from 56 homes on Ada Drive, between Elson Court and Arlene Court.

At the nearby Public Storage Facility at 1107 Goethals Road North in Mariners Harbor, cops found 2,500 pounds of potassium nitrate, a component in gunpowder. The chemical, also known as saltpeter, is commercially used as fertilizer, cleaning solvent for septic tanks and meat preservative.

Investigators say Miguel Serrano, 57, the homeowner of 199 Ada Drive, who was also renting the storage space, had purchased the chemicals in bulk and was reselling them for a profit on the Internet.”
