Nairobi mall shooting: News has emerged that British-born terrorist Samantha Lewthwaite, A.K.A. the White Widow may have been involved in, or even led, the Nairobi shopping mall massacre this week which left 68 people dead.<br /><br />A young witness during the siege reported seeing a caucasian woman directing attackers as they murdered non-muslim shoppers. <br /><br />Lewthwaite, now 29, is the widow of Jermaine Lindsay, one of the jihadist suicide bombers who carried out the deadly subway attacks in London on July, 7, 2005.<br /><br />Born in County Down, Northern Ireland, Lewthwaite spent her formative years in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire in the UK. There, as a 17-year-old schoolgirl, she met Lindsay through an online chat service."<br /><br />She converted to Islam, radicalised, and began wearing conservative Islamic dress.<br /><br />She and Lindsay married three years later. According to British media, they had three children together before his infamous 2005 suicide attack.<br /><br />In 2007, Lewthwaite fled the UK with her children for Mombasa, Kenya. Hiding under all-concealing Islamic dress she evaded capture as she moved between Kenya, Somalia and Tanzania.<br /><br />The Al Shabaab terror group responsible for the mall attack, and for which she is a spokesperson, has its origins in Somalia, where jihadists have been fighting a war to impose sharia law in the country. <br /><br />Analysts believe the Nairobi mall attack is revenge for the Kenyan government's support for the Somali state.<br />--------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />TomoNews is your daily source for top animated news.
