It is "common knowledge" among people who construct IEDs that the fertilizer needs to be mixed with diesel or another fuel to generate a large explosion. However ammonium nitrate will act as its own oxidizer and fuel.
They may have falsely believed it would be a small explosion because it was lacking what they thought was a critical component.
