Of the dozens of Americans who traveled to war-torn Syria or Iraq and then returned home, only a small group of them fought with a terrorist group and might be inclined to launch an attack back in the U.S., federal counterterrorism officials have determined.
Putting potentially dangerous returnees like that behind bars, however, has been a slow and painstaking process.
In the past 16 months, not a single returnee has been arrested even secretly on charges of allegedly supporting terrorists or committing any other direct form of terrorism overseas, though a couple have been quietly implicated in lesser offenses such as lying on travel forms, a federal source told ABC News.

By contrast, in that time, the FBI and Justice Department have arrested at least nine people in the United States who allegedly tried to join terrorists in Syria or Iraq, where more than 12,000 foreign fighters have converged.
And just last month, an upstate New York man was nabbed for allegedly trying to recruit two more Americans to join the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL, the Iraq-based group that has been wreaking havoc in the region and inspiring attacks around the world.
People arent saying, Hey, I just got back from fighting with ISIL, heres my ticket [proving it], a federal source quipped about the challenges in bringing cases against returnees.
Abu Karar, an eager Shiite Muslim militiaman, is willing to fight alongside the Iraqi army against Islamic State militants. But he is not counting on the army for much support in battle.
"If we get attacked, we look to them for help but they never come. We're always left on our own," the 20-year-old, wearing a military camouflage cap, said in his living room in Baghdad, the Iraqi capital.
Like many Iraqis, Karar believes the will and determination to hold off Islamic State advances will not come from Iraq's weak and fractured army. Instead, Iraq's most effective fighting forces may be the highly motivated Shiite militias that have mobilized to counter Sunni-led Islamic State fighters.
The militias rose to prominence in the army and police under former Prime Minister Nouri Maliki, a Shiite who resigned under pressure in August and was replaced by the less divisive Haider Abadi.
Karar and other Shiite militiamen are supporting the army in battles against Islamic State in Anbar province, west of Baghdad. But the militias' power center is the predominantly Shiite capital, where they, in concert with Shiite-led police units, rule Shiite neighborhoods.
"The reason Daesh doesn't take Baghdad is because of us," said Naeem Aboudi, spokesman for the powerful Asaib Ahl al Haq militia, using the Arabic acronym for Islamic State. "We have drawn a red line around Baghdad, and anyone who crosses it will be struck by an iron hand."
Asaib Ahl al Haq, or League of the Righteous, is the largest of four main Shiite militias and four smaller offshoots in Baghdad. Among its thousands of fighters is Karar, who used a nickname because he is not authorized by his commanders to speak with reporters.
The militia was among the leading killers of American troops before the U.S. combat role in Iraq ended in 2011. It's also one of several Shiite militias accused of kidnapping, torturing and killing Sunnis to avenge support by some Sunnis for Islamic State. In addition, militias have mounted violent, Taliban-style raids on clubs serving liquor.
Aboudi denied allegations in an Amnesty International report this month titled "Absolute Impunity: Militia Rule in Iraq." It says Shiite militias "are ruthlessly targeting Sunni civilians on a sectarian basis under the guise of fighting terrorism." Similar accusations were made by Human Rights Watch in July.
By arming and colluding with the militias, "the Iraqi authorities have effectively granted them free rein to go on the rampage against Sunnis," the Amnesty report says.
