within months. he helped join a terrorist group in syria. then in december a maryland man indicted foray lemly receivingay the money to be used for operational purposes in support of isis.s. in january two woodbridge men were charged with terrorism offenses. and joseph far sam far rock later pled guilty. most recently you'll remember one this one, muhammad of fact was arrested in iraq accused of fighting alongside isis. today the attack raising a lotot of questions in our area,rea especially in light of these recent arrests. let's go to tomorrow with that story. >>reporter: this is increasing alarming to security officials. here the at dullesles international. this is the place that 17 year old alley aminute drove his friend 1

airport.ai nick gentleman job got on a plain to situatery yeah andeah joined isis. no one knows where he is. we know where ally amine is, behind bars after pleading guilty to terrorism charges inn an alexandria courtroom earlier this year.ear. how am other individuals are ous there and what are they up top tonight. this is all taken on newçew importance in the last several months since a landmark study by the george washington university center on extremism. that study found that in total there were 61 arrests for isis-related activity in the us last year. now, if you stretch that number out here into 2016 that number is up to 84.to and why is this concerning where there is a two-fold track on aln of this, the terror cells thatel we saw at work today in bruise also are of particular concern.o these larger networks where terrorists have joinedog

to launch large scale attacks, but then there are the smaller units, the one and two-men so-called loan wolfs. these are the types of convictions and cases that are currently being brought by us officials in connection to these incidents in northern virginiaot and in investigations in the maryland area.rea. sean shame just whose on the center on extremism at george washington university talked tuv us today. he said if there is one caveat that runs through all of thesell cases here in the d.c. metropolitan region it is this, that northern virginia officiali are looking at these cases very closely and that by and large these investigations are havingn one thing in common, two end these loan wolves from actingctn before they strike out. northern virginia has a number of people that are drawn toto this. but it's also an interesting case study in terms of the profile that isis reports. by that i mean there is no profile.

rich and the poor. the 17 year fred and the 25 year old cab driver. there is no profile which makese it very hard for law enforcement to prevent that. the unknowns in all of this are enormous. we mentioned reason nick dot at the top of this report. tonight no one has any firm a intelligence on where he its. homeland security officials aref also wondering here domesticallm ines our area how am other wrise nick jobs are out there and what are they up there and how likely are they to act at. we are going to continue ourur coverage. we want to look at the transit coverage. fox5's matt ackland standing byd at metro center with more. matt. >>reporter: this took onlyk minutes for the news of these attacks to reach this area. local officials spring into action, especially law enforcement within a few few minutes, law enforcement agencies were notified. here at metr
