«Breaking News» Former Irish soldier who became an ISIS bride begs to be rescued

A former Irish soldier who fled to Syria to become an ISIS bride has said she wants to return home. 

Lisa Smith, 37, has lost her husband and is living in the al-Hol refugee camp in Syria with her two-year-old daughter. 

She fled the terror group's last holdout in Baghouz and is one of hundreds of women and children at the camp.  

Speaking to CNN, she said not everyone at al-Hol was a 'terrorist' and said prison in Ireland would be no worse than her life in Syria.  

ISIS: Stranded and rejected westerners

“Even if they put me in prison at home, it’s better than being here.” CNN gets rare access to Syrian camps where more than 1,000 foreign fighters remain stranded as their home countries seem reluctant to take them back.

Lisa Smith, pictured left at the al-Hol refugee camp in Syria with her two-year-old daughter and right before she fled Ireland to join ISIS, is pleading to return home and says prison in Ireland could be no worse than life at the camp 

She said: 'I think that people should just realise that all the people here are not terrorists. I want to go home.'

'I know they'd strip me of my passport stuff, and I wouldn't travel and I'd be watched, but prisons? I don't know. I'm already in prison.' 

Smith was one of hundreds to flee Baghouz as ISIS lost its grip on its final patch of territory in eastern Syria.  

Irish authorities have been drawing up plans to rescue the former soldier, originally from Dundalk, the Sunday Mirror reported.

Smith is one of hundreds of women and children to have fled Baghouz, the terror group's last holdout in Syria. The wreckage of Baghouz is pictured yesterday 

She is said to have flown around the world as a member of the Irish military, including on a trip with then-Taoiseach Bertie Ahern. 

A source told the newspaper about the possible rescue, saying: 'The bottom line is she is an Irish citizen with a child in a very volatile, war-torn area. 

'She's in a very vulnerable position and a decision has been made to bring her home.' 

Current Irish PM Leo Varadkar has previously said stripping Smith of her citizenship was not the 'right or compassionate thing to do'.     

His words came in contrast to British ministers' refusal to allow teenage ISIS bride Shamima Begum to return home. 

Lisa Smith's plea to return home comes in the wake of the UK row over teenage ISIS bride Shamima Begum (pictured) who had her British citizenship removed 

Home Secretary Sajid Javid revoked Begum's passport after she said she wished to return to the UK with her newborn son, having already lost two children.

The weeks-old boy later died in a camp in northern Syria, with reports suggesting he had suffered from breathing difficulties. 

Ms Begum, from Bethnal Green in east London, was 15 when she and two other schoolgirls went to join the terror group in February 2015.

Aged 19 and heavily pregnant, she resurfaced in a refugee camp last month and said she wanted to return to Britain as the self-styled caliphate collapsed.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
