‘White Widow', world’s most-wanted woman terrorist, shot dead

Samantha Lewthwaite or the White Widow has
reportedly been gunned down in war-torn Ukraine
by a Russian marksman.

According to The Mirror, Lewthwaite, the world’s
most wanted woman terrorist,  had joined the
Ukraine conflict just two weeks ago and was
fighting on the side of a pro-government group,
Aidar, as a sniper.
The Russian sniper who killed the British terrorist
now has a bounty of $630,000 on his head from
Ukrainian special services.
Muslim-convert Lewthwaite, who was married to
London 7/7 suicide bomber Germaine Lindsay, had
been on the run ever since she was linked to a
failed plot to blow up hotels and a shopping centre
in Mombasa, Kenya, in 2011.
The mum-of-four has reportedly been seen across
Kenya and Somalia after allegedly becoming a top
commander within al-Shabaab — the terror gang
behind the Nairobi mall atrocity, when at least 67
people died in September last year.
Interpol made her world’s most wanted woman
terrorist after her involvement in a Nairobi Mall
attack.
Reports last month had said that she had joined
the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) and
was one of its most prominent female fighters.
However, experts said the latest claims could be
plausible if it was found Lewthwaite travelled to
Ukraine to join radical Islamists fighting against
Russia.
The White Widow’s dad, former British soldier
Andrew Lewthwaite, 58, said at his house in
Aylesbury, Bucks: “I have heard nothing. No one
has told me anything. I’m not saying anything.”
Reports of her death came amid masses of
propaganda from Moscow and Kiev over the
Ukrainian crisis. And counter-terrorism expert Prof
Anthony Glees said the claims could be a
“diversion” by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
