Deported ISIS recruiter allegedly met Lisa Smith in Dublin before she went to Syria
A deported ISIS recruiter is believed to have been in touch with Lisa Smith before she left for Syria.
It is now believed the prolific head hunter, who was out on bail during the former Air Corps steward Smith’s radicalisation, met her in Dublin before she travelled to the Middle East. She told family and friends she was visiting Muslim pals in the capital but was unwelcome in many study groups due to her radical views. Chief of the Counter Extremism Project Dr Hans-Jakob Schindler said Smith’s meeting with the handler in Ireland follows an established pattern.
“They would isolate people from their real world contacts by telling them, ‘These are bad people, they will lead you down the wrong path’. Then they would break off contact in order to make the person eager to talk to them.“After about six months they would introduce the idea of travel and in the final phase of recruitment they would be asked to go to see the ISIS member closest to them.”
