Report: US capital open to bomb attack
Sep. 11, 2006 at 12:53PM
UPI
An undercover team of ABC News staff were able to purchase and hide a half
ton of bomb-making material in downtown Washington.
The team paid cash at farming supply stores as they worked through
North Carolina and Virginia, and amassed 1,000 pounds of it in a storage
shed in the nation's capital. The report said they were never asked for
identification when making the purchases, which frustrated Rep. Pete King,
R-N.Y., who is chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee.
A law requiring fertilizer sellers to record purchases has passed
King's committee and is awaiting a vote by the full House, but has met
lobbying resistance from the agricultural industry, the report said.
King said the network's success served a "wake-up call" to Congress to
pass the bill.
On April 19, 1995, a 5,000-pound bomb made from fertilizer exploded in
front of a federal building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people and injured
more than 800 others.
