But you genuinely seem confused. Just because some hack gets ahead of himself
and mistakenly writes "Urea Nitrate" for "urea nitrate bomb" (which can contain
any number of things, including sodium cyanide) you can't see any way around it
being deliberate, willful disinformation. Ridiculous. Why would the government
as you say, "encourage" terrorists to use something which would make them have
a weapon with a far greater lethality than if they left it out? Doesn't follow.
It's only misleading to someone stuck at the level of reading equations out of
a chemistry book.
2."Chemical agent" can mean anything. "coupling" can mean anything.
No, actually I'm using the terms in a very specific sense: if you knew the
first thing about bomb-making you'd share the larger context and wouldn't need
to sit around mystified over word usage and hung up on terminology.

Terrorists add sodium cyanide to urea nitrate bombs to achieve chemical
effects alongside blast effects. Do some reading.

Like I don't have anything better to do than baby-step you through a point
everyone else in the whole group grasped a long time ago.

Yes. You should also do some more reading.

One more time: given that terrorists add sodium cyanide to urea nitrate bombs
to achieve chemical effects as well as blast effects, I think it more likely
this was a simple error made in haste ("Urea Nitrate" used generically
(erroneously) in place of the more precise "urea nitrate bomb" than deliberate
disinformation. For you to split hairs and demand an example of sodium cyanide
used as anything other than a chemical weapon shows you are completely missing
the point. Do some reading.
