How is ANFO made?
ANFO is an acronym for Ammonium Nitrate Fuel Oil which is simply ammonium nitrate fertilizer soaked in diesel fuel or some other form of fuel oil such as charcoal starter fluid. It is almost as powerful as dynamite and is the type of bomb used by Timothy McVeigh in the Oklahoma City Bombing which resulted in the deaths of 168 innocent women and children. McVeigh was executed for that crime on June 11th 2001. The ratio of Ammonium nitrate to Diesel fuel is 94.5% ammonium nitrate and 5.5% diesel fuel. Detonation can be achieved with a high temperature such as a spark from a car battery or fireworks such as m80's. More sophisticated detonators can be made from cell phones, walkie-talkies, or even a magneto such as is used by the Army to detonate a claymore mine. The explosion is more intense if the ANFO is in a compressed container. This information is provided solely for educational purposes and should never be used for making a bomb. Remember, it's not illegal to know how to make a bomb and detonate it but it is illegal to make a bomb even if you don't detonate it.
