The former member of the Defence Forces who travelled to an Islamic State controlled area, but now wants to return home says she does not think she will come back to Ireland. Lisa Smith, who says she flew on the government jet alongside political leaders such as Bertie Ahern, Mary Mary McAleese and Micheál Martin, is currently in the Ain Issa refugee camp. She did admit that there are people in the Islamic State who have "extreme views". "There are other people here with really extreme and radical views. The Islamic State failed because of everything they have done."
