Surveillance video shows Balat, who says he was inspired by ISIS, walking inside and shopping at Phantom Fireworks retail store in Penndel, PA, at 12:46pm on Monday, March 2nd. Video from inside the store shows him apparently purchasing a 20 foot roll of safety fuse — fuse that looks and feels like thick twine.
“Coming in and buying that was uneventful. Had he bought 20 rolls of fuse it might have raised eyebrows. But buying one or two items of anything in this store is almost a non-event. Nothing remarkable about the purchase,” Phantom Fireworks Company Vice President & General Counsel William Weimer told CBS News in a telephone interview Tuesday.
