If you dismiss the explosion in Toulouse like the French Gov does, then no terrorism. Last time such a product blasted was in 1947, on a boat of Nantes, time before, 1946 on the Mississipi, French boat too, about 600 deaths. Since then, nothing : the technicians have learned. Now on the very day EU was to decide what stand to take on the conflict, BOOM, 300 tons of a product coming in pellets stores in a wharehouse with no electricity, machines or anything that could trigger nitrate ammonium. If you follow the politics around France you should know to what extend the French Gov downplayes any event that does not fit its policies or choices. And the media always follow up. Its called "consensus". BTW, have you seen the list of the names of casualties. Don't they know who was working at that time in the plant ?With all the labor regulations around. The legal book is a thousand+ pages long! When you hire somebody in France, you HAVE to register him with the Labor Department BEFORE he show up. And if he doesn't, email back or eminitel again. Even the Unions provide no names? SO the Justice Dep says 99% tech accident, 1% sabotage or bomb. (There was a first blast before the big one) It could very well be the other way around 99% sabotage.
