The White Widow
The White Widow sounds like a fictional character out of a J.R.R. Tolkien fantasy. Except in this case the White Widow is a deadly real person.
Samantha Lewthwaite is the White Widow. When she married Germaine Lindsay (who was also a Muslim convert) she converted to a virulent strain of Islam advocating extreme violence toward all kuffars. She and Germaine planned the 7/7 attacks on the London underground and bus system. The terrorist attack killed 52 people and wounded an astounding 700 more. Samantha’s husband martyred himself in the attack by being a homicide bomber. Samantha left the country several days in advance of the attack going first to Switzerland and then, we think to Turkey. Ultimately, she made her way to the failed nation-state of Somalia. There she joined the terror group al-Shabaab (The Youth). In Somalia she planned even more bloody mayhem.
Samantha Lethwaite aka ‘The White Widow’
It was in Somalia Samantha acquired her nom de guerre, the White Widow. Her next planned atrocity was the attack on the Westgate Mall in Nairobi. The upscale mall was frequented by upscale Western expatriates. Here the tale grows confusing. It seems the White Widow might have scouted out, but certainly planned the attack, on the Westgate Mall. The death toll was 67 dead and 175 wounded. It took three days for the bumbling Kenyan security forces to retake the mall. Everyone who could not, or would not recite the Muslim confession of faith (There is no god but Allah, and Mohammed is his prophet.) was brutally slain.
The White Widow planned several smaller operations, but her piece de resistance was the attack on Garrisa College in northern Kenya. Once again a suicide squad of AK-47 toting terrorist struck at night. Muslims were spared, but Christians received a bullet to the back of the head. The total dead numbered 149 students with about 50 injured. Ironically most of the dead Christians were the first persons to attend college in their families, ending promising careers for themselves and the hope of a better life for their extended families.
It has been rumored that the White Widow under went plastic surgery to alter her physical appearance. Also the White Widow has allegedly put together a spy network of other Muslim women (supposedly all widows) numbering 200 or more. But also, we know the White Widow is buying ten-year old children from poor Somali families for $400.00. Under the White Widow’s tutelage these children are being groomed to become homicide
bombers inflicting even more death and dismemberment upon totally innocent victims.
Our country has a $5,000,000 bounty on the White Widow while the British also have a 3 million pound sterling (About $4,400,000 in US funds) reward for her dead or alive. Hopefully, there is a Hell Fire missile out there with her name on it. She has killed at least 400 irreplaceable human beings and wounded in the thousands. Killing her would save hundreds perhaps thousands of lives and spare the world much agony.
Male suicide bombers are promised 72 virgins from Allah. Does anyone know what reward a female terrorist who dies in Jihad receives from the monster god Allah ?
