Ont. police track suspicious fertilizer purchase
Police in southern Ontario are reported to be searching for a man who bought what they consider to be a suspiciously large amount of fertilizer — enough, they say, to make a bomb.
The RCMP have confirmed to CBC News that a man purchased 65, 25-kilogram bags of ammonium nitrate fertilizer on May 26 at a store in Lincoln, Ont., near St. Catharines in the Niagara Region.
...
The 1,625 kg of ammonium nitrate is enough to make an explosive of the kind used by U.S. bomber Timothy McVeigh, QMI quoted the alert as saying.

If they were really concerned about him, then why would they leak the info to the mass media? Wouldn't the story read better if it was written after they caught him?

Well they did give a description of the suspect, and I don't think just giving a description of a person without giving background on why he's being hunted would be a good idea either.
Plus with Canada aware of how he looks like and what he's suspected of doing, there will be more people on the look out.
I see what you're saying though. If it were a threat to national security, then why leak vital information? The only thing is we don't have the police and investigation capacity like the USA.

I don't understand why they would alert this person and force him to hide better than he is now.
Unless they put the info out, as they have him tailed in hopes he will lead them to any others.
Could also be a lame justification for the security costs.

They did the exactly same thing just before the Vancouver Olympics. Sesh how gullible do they think we are ?
It's not easy to justify a billion dollars for a few days security, these security costs are a massive money grab by connected people, I'm convinced some huge money is being transferred from the taxpayer to fund the RCMP ? and line alot of pockets along the way.

“My understanding is that the RCMP has a long-standing relationship with this company,” she said. “So they secured them and we found out about it after the fact. It’s an inconvenience.”

The company is based in Salt Lake City, with an office in Vancouver, and won the contract after a federal “letter of interest” was posted in March announcing the government’s intention to secure a contractor to provide airport-style security at checkpoints.

The letter of interest was posted on March 31 and taken down on April 6. Mr. Carson said it usually takes weeks to answer the questions raised in such requests for proposal.
“The timeline is laughable,” he said. “It just doesn’t pass the sniff test.”

I'll never forget the looks of the faces of the customers at Costco when me and my dad put about 10 bags of fertilizer in our shopping cart.

According to some, there were secondary devices removed from the scene after the bombing. There were also employees there who reported seeing McViegh in a uniform at the Murrah building weeks before the incident holding "sticks of grey butter" in the parking area under the building.
Some of these witnesses by the way, have since mysteriously died.

I really hope this guy isnt a farmer or a landscaper or this is just fear mongering.
1625 kg of fertilizer for a farmer is nothing.

OK..first off McVeigh was interviewed extensively and it has been aired where he was anything but hiding what had happened. he answered every single question as to why and how the whole thing went down. He never ever mentioned he had been in there previously, which would beg the question...why would he hide something like that? Especially if it somehow impicated anyone associated with the government whom he despised so vehemently.

That's when he caught his first glimpse of the murrah building, and his first reaction was, damn, I didn't take the building completely down.
McVEIGH HAD THIS ALL VERY Carefully choreographed.

McVEIGH AND FORTIER TOOK A Drive through oklahoma city and looked over the murrah building and McVeigh said, that's the one. 00:23:38He liked it because it was uncluttered.

Secondly...people die every day whether or not they were witnesses to an explosion that occurred 15 years ago.
Its unbelievable how every single large incident has a conspiracy attached to it. Amusing if nothing else.

The second blip of seismic activity that conspiracy theorist claim was caused by other explosive devices was caused by the first shock wave travelling through a denser layer of earth. It wasn't a second bomb blast. I believe it was the New Mexico institute of mining and technology that debunked the two explosion theory.
Conspiracy theories always go back to mysterious witnesses, who happen to be dead.

When you say according to some, are you talking about Randy Trochmann and his brother claiming that rescuers pulled explosives out of the building?
