Other information, gathered through intelligence or informants, could also lead law enforcement to conclude that there may be a threat to the chemical facility. While... 

Notification by news media. A threat to destroy a chemical facility might be delivered to the news media, or the media may discover a threat. A conscientious reporter would immediately report such a threat to the police, and either the reporter or the police would immediately contact the chemical facility.
