In one of the most unbelievable stories in 2019 so far, Dundalk woman Lisa Smith has been arrested and is being held in Syria for alleged links to ISIS.

The Dundalk woman worked for more than 10 years in the Irish Defence Forces, including flying on the government jet when Bertie Ahern was the Taoiseach.

According to the Mirror, Lisa Smith appeared in an ISIS propaganda video where she claimed to be British, not Irish but it’s understood that this is indeed the former Irish soldier in the video.

“No music, no smoking, no fighting, no drinking, no prostitution… you want a clean life like this, this is what you want, but sometimes it is not like this.”

She sounds like a very decisive woman …. /s

Those eyes look scared... Was she coerced? Just asking.

no way she's Irish...

No, like every foolish western woman, she was given a lie about Islam’s treatment of women and believed that the West was terrible and Islam was great.

She might be scared now, but she made her original decision with a clear mind.

My father was from a place called Dundalk.

I wonder what upsets the Irish more: that she joined Isis, or claims to be British.
