OKLAHOMA MAN: ‘TERRORISTS ARE TRYING TO BUY MY FERTILIZER’

WILDWOOD, Oklahoma (Wireless Flash) – An Oklahoma fertilizer salesman is getting some explosive business inquiries – literally. Richard Eckstein – who runs infinityfertilizer.com – claims that ever since September 11, he’s been inundated with orders from Middle Eastern men. One man wanted to buy 250,000 tons of ammonium nitrate fertilizer – the same type of fertilizer used by Timothy McVeigh to bomb the Oklahoma City federal building. Eckstein says he immediately reported the strange order to the FBI, but it’s been hard to trace since the potential purchasers never left their phone number. He believes the attempted purchase came from terrorists who learned about his website after he held up a banner on the Today Show and he claims the website has received lots of traffic from Saudi Arabia since the attacks.
