They were not tracking him -- don't know where that rumor got started but that is not factual. NPD didn't even get the paperwork to anyone that would have made a difference on the attempted buy of ammonium nitrate until AFTER the bomber blew up.

Can guarantee that our local FBI would never have been tracking a student from OU that lived with a Pakistani. That was never going to happen.

In one of the first articles or video reports I saw regarding the arrest/questioning of the students stated that they were showed up at the apartment building AFTER the blast and apprehended Cheema AFTER he came out of an apartment in the building. It was then that they took into custody the others in the apartment he came out of.

Another article/video mentioned that they found a wallet on the body - hence how they were able to know where to look so quickly...

Here's an excerpt of one article discussing the arrest/questioning:

Student recounts talk with worker - FR Thread
Hinrichs' roommate was Fazil Cheema, a student from Pakistan. Law enforcement officials late Saturday came to the Parkview Apartments complex where the pair lived, located Cheema at a neighboring apartment, then interviewed him and about a half-dozen others, who are Muslims. However, spokesmen for the local Muslim community say Cheema himself is not a practicing Muslim.

Hinrichs and Cheema lived in a nearby unit, and Cheema was at the neighboring apartment when police arrived.

Is this part true then?

>>> identify who Hinrichs was, where he lived, who his roommate was, and then find where his roommate was in a matter of minutes.<<<<

That was only my guess from that statement.
