UK’s most wanted female terrorist responsible for 400 deaths

Britain’s most wanted female terrorist, dubbed the ‘White Widow’, has masterminded over 400 deaths including last month’s slaughter of 148 people at a university in Kenya, media reports said on Monday.

The 32-year-old Samantha Lewthwaite, a graduate of London University and mother of four, is the widow of one of the London 7/7 suicide bombers, Germaine Lindsay. She fled UK after the attacks and is rumoured to have changed her looks.

Lewthwaite is believed to have risen through the ranks of Africa-based terror group <g data-gr-id="11">al-Shabaab,</g> after many of its senior leaders were killed in drone strikes in Somalia.

She is believed to have masterminded the death of over 400 people in numerous terror raids, suicide attacks and car bombings in Somalia and Kenya, UK’s Mirror newspaper quoted Somali security officials as saying.
