<<Jordan intercepted a shipment of agricultural chemicals and explosives. That's not "chemical weapons." >> Agricultural chemicals. Lots of them are organophosphates that are used in nerve gas. 60-0-0 is a farm chemical and it sure flattened the Murrah building. Pesticides are down to about 5% of the potency when they get to the farm. It's all a sealed system now because they are so poisonous and you have to take a class and be certified to get them. I remember a farmer from back in the 60s who was adding a pesticide to his sprayer and the wind blew the fumes back into his face. He's still alive but he hasn't seen for 40 years. Remember Agent Orange? That was a farm chemical used to make beans drop their leaves quicker for harvest.
