White Widow Samantha Lewthwaite has been linked to the huge terror
attack that occurred today in Abuja.The huge explosion destroyed forty
buses and left a sickening trail of death and destruction as fuel tanks
on nearby vehicles also exploded amid the heat of the blast.
But while nobody has officially claimed responsibility, security
sources, according to a report on DailyStar fear the bombing may have
been a revenge attack for the death of Lewthwaite's mentor two weeks ago
- al-Shabaab terror chief Makaburi, aka Sheikh Abubakar Shariff Ahmed.
A senior security source said 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 daughter of a British Army
soldier, she is already on Interpol's Most Wanted list in connection
with seven murders as well as the siege of the Westgate shopping mall in
Nairobi, Kenya in September last year which left 67 dead and nearly 200
injured. She was reportedly caught at a checkpoint in Nigeria just six
months ago - but managed to bribe her way to freedom.
She is also believed to have widely used the alias ‘Natalie Webb’ and
travelled on a forged South African passport. She has been on the run
since January 2012 and is now one of the most wanted international
fugitives in the world, officially being hunted by 190 countries!
