A BRITISH housewife-turned-terrorist
known as the “White Widow” is reportedly training an all-woman army of
suicide bombers for the Islamic State group.
Samantha Lewthwaite, whose husband blew himself up in the 2005
London bombings, joined IS this year and is now one of its most
influential female members — dubbed the “Special One” or the “Important
Woman,” Britain’s Daily Star reports.
“Her most powerful
weapon is her use of propaganda. She may well be orchestrating the
videos we have been seeing emerge from [IS] in the last few weeks,” an
intelligence source told the paper.
Lewthwaite, 30, has been the
world’s most-wanted woman since Interpol issued a “red notice” for her
arrest following last year’s deadly terror attack on the Westgate mall
in Nairobi, Kenya.
Reports suggest she was a “pale-skinned” woman seen firing shots and directing attackers.
In
2012, Kenyan authorities accused her of ties to Somalia’s al-Shabab
terror group and said she had plotted an attack at a resort.
