English term or phrase: provide no leads
¿Como podría traducir la siguiente expresión "provide no leads"?
The terrorists had used an artisan device: sodium chlorate associated with ordinary sugar in a 13 kg gas bottle, sold in any store. The reference numbers provide no leads, since eleven million bottles of this kind are sold every year.

neutral  Taña Dalglish: Victor, why post an almost identical answer to Patinba's (except to change the word order). The proper thing would be to agree with the first proposal, and not to enter your own answer (a ProZ etiquette rule, although "unspoken").
