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 [July 7, 2005]
London terrorist bomber Germaine Lindsay, is accused of causing the deaths of
more than 400 people. 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. She was accused of orchestrating
grenade attacks at non-Muslim places of worship, and is believed to have been
behind an attack on those watching football in a bar in Mombasa during Euro
2012. In September 2013, there was speculation over her possible involvement in
the Westgate shopping mall attack. although other reports cast doubt on this,
or said her role had been exaggerated. 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.”
