 She was been dubbed the "world's most wanted woman" as well as the "white widow" and was profiled on AMW's last ever 2-hour special on Fox (and last ever Fox episode in general) on April 21st of 2012 and again as a brief mention on Lifetime on September 28th, 2012. Lewthwaite was married to 7/7 bomber Jermaine Lindsay. Lindsay was one of the suicide bombers that attacked London's subway system on July 7th, 2005. It is believed Lewthwaite may have been more than just the wife of a husband who belonged to a Al-Qaeda linked terror cell, and may have helped planned the bombings. Officials feared that Lewthwaite, believed to be hiding in South Africa, was soon going to be connected to an attack again. And that may have come this week. Two days ago, ten presently unidentified gunmen attacked the upscale Westgate shopping mall in Nairobi, Kenya, fatally shooting at least 69 people, and taking others inside hostage, according to the Kenyan Red Cross. The Islamist group Al-Shabaab claimed responsibility for the incident. A Kenyan government spokesperson said that some of those rescued from the mall had sighted a "white woman" among the hostage-takers. When asked if the woman was Lewthwaite, the spokesman replied “Nothing is being ruled out.” The London Mirror reported that Al Shabab had praised the "White Widow" on their Twitter account and boasted that she was with them, and one senior anti-terror force suspects Lewthwaite was with them. Thoughts? I must say it is a bit coincidental this happened right in the same region where Lewthwaite is believed to be hiding and I wouldn't be surprised if it was her. I also wouldn't be surprised if she's suspected of involvement and planning but it turns out it was another woman at the mall.

I checked and the Daily Star is a tabloid, but I wouldn't be surprised if she was involved in this latest terrorist attack. Also, if it's true that she was caught in Nigeria six months ago, but bribed her way to freedom (according to the article), then that's really horrible. Lewthwaite needs to be stopped. |

I had a feeling this was a tabloid as the story seemed a bit sensationalized, and I'm not sure how much I can believe such as the bribing allegation, but it does not seem far fetched to believe Lewthwaite could have had something to do with this, tabloid or not. It seems like almost perfect timing that John Walsh's new show- said to be more international in flavor- is coming out with Lewthwaite possibly being involved in more violent terrorist attacks.

Thank goodness nothing significant in terms of tragedies has come up since 2014 in this case, but I fear she may be more interested in IS's ideology than Al-Shabaab's ideological stance with Al-Qaeda if the rumors of her in Syria turn out to be true.
I've spent years, sheets of papers and tons of ink pens puzzling her personality as to how radical she is, also her potential whereabouts since she is said to be in Somalia and Syria.
Perosnally i I doubt she would be in Ukraine fighting, but instead laying low, but I dont she'd change her environment from Somalia to Ukarine

Haven't seen the episode yet but just wanted to mention that Lewthwaite is the subject of the third episode of the new documentary series "World's Most Wanted" on Netflix.

I saw the World's Most Wanted episode. It was good but they said about even if they knew where she was it is not as.simple as just going in there and arresting her if she's in a land protected by Islamist militants and some sort of laws preventing them from outright killing her (tbh, I got distracted while watching it but the general gist seemed to be she likely is very well protected hence the issue in catching her).
