'White Widow' alikuwa mke wa ofisa jeshi Kenya

 
Samantha Lewthwaite, the ‘White Widow’ being hunted on suspicion of leading the Nairobi mall massacre, is or was secretly married to a former officer in the Kenya Navy, a British newspaper said on Monday, quoting a confidential Scotland Yard file.

Her new husband is Mr Abdi Wahid, whom the paper said is currently in Europe and freely moves around.
 

According to the Daily Mail, the dossier throws new light on the life of the mother of four who converted to Islam as a schoolgirl and is now the world’s most wanted woman.

However, Inspector General David Kimaiyo said they were not aware that the “White Widow” was married to a former Navy soldier.

“I’m hearing about it for the first time. All we know is that she was living with someone in Mombasa who was charged in court and therefore we are not aware of any other person of interest,” Mr Kimaiyo said.
 

Her first husband, Jermaine Lindsay, blew himself up in a suicide bombing in Britain in July 2005. 

She came to Africa in 2009 and had been on the run for nearly two years.

Now, security sources tell The Belfast Telegraph that Lewthwaite was indeed at the mall and allegedly smeared her face in blood in order to fool authorities and make her escape.

"Witness accounts reveal a woman closely resembling the 29-year-old mother of three was seen being led away among panicked survivors, her face and upper clothes splashed with blood," writes Jim Cusack of the Telegraph.
