====Terrorism==== Ammonium nitrate-based explosives were used in the [[Sterling Hall bombing]] in Madison, Wisconsin, 1970, the [[Oklahoma City bombing]] in 1995, the [[2011 Delhi bombing]]s, the [[2011 Norway attacks|2011 bombing in Oslo]], the [[Myyrmanni bombing]] and the [[2013 Hyderabad blasts]]. In November 2009, the government of the [[Khyber Pakhtunkhwa|KPK]] (previously termed as NWFP) of [[Pakistan]] imposed a ban on [[ammonium sulfate]], ammonium nitrate, and [[calcium ammonium nitrate]] fertilizers in the former [[Malakand Division]]{{Snd}}comprising the [[Upper Dir]], [[Lower Dir]], [[Swat, Pakistan|Swat]], [[Chitral]], and [[Malakand District|Malakand]] districts of the NWFP β following reports that those chemicals were used by militants to make explosives. Due to these bans, "[[Potassium chlorate]]{{Snd}}the material which allows [[safety matches]] to catch fire{{Snd}}has surpassed fertilizer as the explosive of choice for insurgents."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2013/06/25/ammonium-nitrate-potassium-chlorate-ieds-afghanistan/2442191/|title=Afghan bomb makers shifting to new explosives for IEDs|first=Tom Vanden|last=Brook|website=USA TODAY}}</ref>
