Former New Scotland Yard Detective Laura Pond claims intelligence suggested a steady stream of people travelled to support ISIS, with many becoming deeply embedded in the terrorist group's operations. “People were going almost daily in some places to join the Caliphate, to support in some way, shape, or form,” Ms Pond told Sky News host Peta Credlin. “Many of them were part of the family, you know, they were married to ISIS husbands, they had children and things like that. “There is a lot of intelligence to suggest that they were involved with what was going on in some way, shape, or form.”
