Have also heard theories that the TPTB explosive was just a trigger for the ammonium nitrate he was trying to buy; however, the ammonium nitrate must be soaked in diesel fuel to make it go BOOM.

Much more to this story than meets the eye...

I heard it was TATP, or are they variants of the same thing? You make me wonder if he wasn't carrying the TATP to some location where it was going to be used as the trigger. Anyone there look for caches of ANFO, or at least the components? Maybe that's what was destroyed later that night.

It's not over.
