ATF, police probe theft of ‘large quantity’ of AN

St. George, Utah-ATF agents have taken charge, with assistance from the local police and the FBI terrorism task force, of an investigation into the theft of a “large quantity” of ammonium nitrate from a construction site near the Utah-Arizona border. One ATF agent involved in the case told Green Markets that the ammonium nitrate in 50 and 30 pound bags was taken, possibly between Oct. and February, from a locked facility. The agent, who said his name could not be used, declined to say specifically how much was missing, but said it did not involve dozens of bags as reported in the local press.
