They have been closely following fertilizer and component purchases since well before 9/11. I know after the Oklahoma City bombings in 95 regulations were stepped up again and they were stepped some after the first failed world trade center bombings in 93, at least according to some of my relatives who deal with things like that.
As to this explosion, you can find older articles about this plant where people were complaining about overly strong smells. To me that makes me jump to leaks or process negligence that finally went wrong. The sugar plant explosion in 08 was a similar deal.
I understand why people would jump to the thoughts of it being a planned attack, and that should certainly be investigated, but I really doubt that is what happened here.
