Irish 'ISIS Bride' arrested on return to Ireland from Turkey

An Irish citizen aligned to ISIS deported from
Turkey along with her two-year-old daughter was arrested on her return to
Dublin on Sunday on suspicion of terrorist offenses, Irish police said.
Ireland agreed to repatriate Lisa Smith, 38, and her
two-year-old daughter after Ankara began deporting foreign citizens linked to
ISIS earlier this month.
Turkey says it has captured 287 militants in
northeast Syria, where Turkish troops launched an offensive against the Kurdish
YPG militia last month, and has hundreds more extremist suspects in detention.
Dublin has said for months that it has a
responsibility to bring Smith back to Ireland and that its main concern was for
the safe repatriation of her daughter.
Smith is a former member of the Irish Defence
Forces.
In a statement, Irish Minister for Justice Charlie
Flanagan said: "This is a sensitive case and I want to reassure people
that all relevant state agencies are closely involved."
