Read about a dreaded female terrorist:
Samantha Louise Lewthwaite (born 5 December 1983), also known as Sherafiyah Lewthwaite or the White Widow, is a British woman who is one of the Western world's most wanted terrorism suspects. Lewthwaite, the widow of 7/7 London terrorist bomber Germaine Lindsay, is accused of causing the deaths of more than 400 people.[9] She is a fugitive from justice in Kenya, where she was wanted on charges of possession of explosives and conspiracy to commit a felony and is the subject of an Interpol Red Notice requesting her arrest with a view to extradition.
Lewthwaite was an alleged member of the Somalia-based radical Islamic militant group Al-Shabaab.[10] She was accused of orchestrating grenade attacks at non-Muslim places of worship,[10] and is believed to have been behind an attack on those watching football in a bar in Mombasa during Euro 2012.[11] In September 2013, there was speculation over her possible involvement in the Westgate shopping mall attack,[12] although other reports cast doubt on this, or said her role had been exaggerated.[13][14][15] She was dubbed the "White Widow" by the news media, a play on words referencing her race, the death of her first husband and the practice of referring to Chechen female suicide bombers as "black widows."
