Abuja blast linked to UK White Widow

British international terrorist, 'White
Widow,' real name Samantha Lewthwaite,
may be the mastermind behind the horrific
Monday attack in Nyanya, near Abuja. While nobody has officially claimed
responsibility 48 hours after the blast, UK
security sources, according to reports, fear
the bombing may have been a revenge
attack for the death of Lewthwaite's
mentor— al-Shabaab terror chief Makaburi, A. K. A. Sheikh Abubakar
Shariff Ahmed—
two weeks ago. A senior security source told UK's Daily
Star that agents across Africa were on high
alert after the assassination of Makaburi,
reportedly by the UK and US funded Kenyan
Anti-Terror Police Unit, ATPU, 14 days ago,
adding that Lewthwaite and her associates "wanted revenge." The source
said: "Makaburi was always
believed to be at the very top of the
hierarchy of terror organisation, al-Shabaab.
Intelligence suggests he introduced Samantha
Lewthwaite to many influential figures
within the al-Shabaab network. "He guided her on her path to Jihad. His
murder was seen as yet another act of
war." Lewthwaite, 30, is believed to be in Nigeria,
Kenya or Somalia, where Islamist terror
networks are closely linked, making it far
easier for her to evade detection than in
Europe, the paper said. The daughter of a British Army soldier, she is
already on Interpol's most wanted list in
connection with seven murders and the siege
of the Westgate shopping mall in Nairobi,
Kenya, in September last year which left 67
dead and nearly 200 injured. The paper said: "The world's most
wanted woman was reportedly caught at a
checkpoint in Nigeria just six months ago, but
managed to bribe her way to freedom. "It is thought she commands enormous
loyalty and power as a white convert female
jihadist, having proved her worth in previous
attacks." Pedigree
As both a mother and widow of a 7/7
bomber, she also provides the groups with
invaluable propaganda. The White Widow, who has been on the run
since January 2012, got her grim nickname
after husband Germaine Lindsay blew up a
London Tube train in the 7/7 bombings in
2005. Fifty six people were killed and more than
700 injured. Interpol has issued a rare 'Red
Notice' for the White Widow's arrest. Lewthwaite, from Aylesbury,
Buckinghamshire, is believed to have widely
used the alias 'Natalie Webb' and
travelled on a forged South African passport.
She is now officially being hunted by 190
countries and is one of the most wanted international fugitives in the
world. Police seized her laptop in 2011 and found
details of how to build bombs and evidence
she was planning multiple terrorist attacks
both in Africa and the West. She has also been linked to grenade attacks
at non-Muslim places of worship in Africa and
a terrorist attack on western football fans
watching Euro 2012 in the Jericho bar in
Mombasa. Head of Interpol, Ronald Noble, said: "There
is a global 'tripwire' for this fugitive. All
190 member-countries are aware of the
danger posed by this woman, not just across
the region but also worldwide."
