The 30-year-old mother of four, wanted by Interpol and several
countries including Britain and Kenya, was assassinated two weeks ago in
the Ukraine, the Russian news agency Regnum reported Wednesday,
according to Britain’s Daily Mirror. The report of her death has not
been verified.
She was believed to have been fighting alongside Islamic State terrorists.
Lewthwaite is the widow of Jermain Lindsay, one of the suicide
bombers in Britain’s worst-ever terror attack in 2005. She disappeared a
few months after the subway bombings and is believed to have
participated in terrorist plots in Kenya, trained jihadists in Somalia
and aided the al-Shabab terrorist network.
She married a second time, to a British-born Muslim with extremist
views who was reported killed in a shoot-out in Somalia between rival
factions of al-Shabab in 2013.
Around the time of his death, she is believed to have masterminded
the September 2013 slaughter at the Westgate Mall in Nairobi, where
terrorists armed with assault rifles and grenades systematically made
their way through the upscale shopping center, killing at least 67
people. Witnesses said a white woman was among the attackers.
She escaped Kenya with a fake passport claiming she was from South Africa. She has eluded authorities ever since.
