Mr. Alfallaj was arrested Monday and made an initial appearance in federal court in Oklahoma City. A message left with a public defender assigned to represent Mr. Alfallaj was not immediately returned. The next month, Mr. Alfallaj confirmed that the telephone number found on the application belonged to his father, the F.B.I. He said the students often mingled and had cookouts, but Mr. Alfallaj did not attend these gatherings. “I’d say there was a number of breakdowns going back to where the original intelligence was maintained and stored,” Mr. McJunkin said.
