Anyone catch the news lately?
Apparantely there was a "Terrorist Conspiracy" to blow up landmarks and **** in Canada. The terrorists allegedly ordered 3 tonnes of ammonium nitrate for making bombs. (They ORDERED, they did not have it in posession).
Now the ammonium nitrate they used was garbage. It is treated with a catalyst that prevents combustion of the stuff. So if you were to make a bomb out of it.. its no good. Not only that but if one were to attempt to remove the catalyst, the nitrate stuff is so volatile if you mess with it (purifying it and whatnot) that it explodes and you end up doing alot of bodily damage to yourself.
Fishy.
Of these so called terrorists, most were teenagers. Not only that but apparantely the Prime Mininster, who is the proponent to increase Military Spending and have stronger ties with the US apparantely was on the hit list. This wasn't such big news on the day they caught the fvckers. In fact they did not mention it then. But a few days later, the media went crazy about it.
Seems weird huh? You'd think that would be pretty important too. And that they would have mentioned it on the day they caught them and seized their plans.
Anyone else got a take on this?
edit: If anyone is interested on WHY the ammonium nitrate could not have worked... I can go into detail about it. Hint: Think about what inhibitors (this is the opposite of a catalyst) do in reactions.
