An Irish 'ISIS bride' stuck in a Syrian prison told a reporter that she "is famous".
The woman who apparently claimed to be Lisa Smith, from Dundalk, Co Louth, and her young child are desperate to escape from warn-torn Baghouz.
A CNN reporter said: "I've only heard of one Irish woman who was in ISIS, years ago and she was was member of the forces. And she goes 'yes, that's me'.
"She did not want to appear that she was speaking to our cameras, so we had to have our camera further away as I spoke with her.
"She didn't give a surname but she said she really wanted to get back home, because of her daughter.

"[Her daughter] was born in the so called Islamic state. She also told us that before she arrived at the camp, family members were getting in touch with the Government trying to find out what happens to her next."
Smith went to Syria as an ISIS bride but she is now a widow – although both she and her child are Irish citizens.
During the weekend the Irish Sunday Mirror reported that top-level meetings have taken place between the Defence Forces and the Department of Foreign Affairs to draw up a plan to bring Smith home.

The former Irish soldier also told the reporter that she believes she won't be facing any criminal charges if she returns to Ireland.
CNN's Joanna Karadsheh Scott told Morning Ireland: "I did ask her if she was ready for any possible prosecution and facing any charges when she gets back home and she doesn't seem to think that this should be the case.
"She might be interrogated, she might not be able to travel, but she's willing to take the chance whatever it is. She just wants to get back home because she cannot stay in that camp forever."
