She said wasn’t involved in fighting and did not train girls to become fighters.

She also claimed she had been visited more than once by the FBI for questioning, and they had taken her fingerprints and DNA.

Ms Smith had been living with her two-year-old daughter in a Syrian refugee camp.

The taoiseach (Irish prime minister) had previously said she would “certainly” be investigated if she returned to Ireland.
