'White sister' widow of 7/7 UK bomber training all-women terror squads in Somalia

London, July 9 (ANI): British terror suspect Samantha Lewthwaite, who is on the run from police in East Africa, is in Somalia recruiting and training all-women terror squads, according to a blog.

According to the blog on a website used by the Muslim Youth Centre, a radical Kenyan pro-jihadi movement, Lewthwaite is in Somalia and has been connected to terror attacks in East Africa.

The blog, which appears to be written by a female sympathizer in Tanzania, said that Lewthwaite is known as 'Dada Mzungu' in terror groups, which means 'white sister' in Swahili, The Telegraph reports.

"More than five times our 'Dada Mzungu' has defeated the kuffar [non-Muslims] in Kenya and Tanzania," The Telegraph quoted the blog, as saying.

Kenyan police sources in Mombasa confirmed that according to their intelligence, Lewthwaite was in southern Somalia, where she is being protected by al-Shabaab, the country's militant Islamist army.

"We cannot say that she is connected to any terrorist attacks in Kenya, but it is consistent with our information that she is with Shabaab in Somalia," one senior anti-terror officer in Mombasa said.

Lewthwaite, the widow of Jermaine Lindsay, one of the 7/7 bombers, fled to Mombasa, Kenya, last December after police foiled a plot to attack tourist hotels with chemical bombs.

Despite an international hunt by British and Kenyan police and Interpol, Lewthwaite has not been seen since. (ANI)
