MUNTINLUPA, PHILIPPINES (Catholic Online) - The British-born terrorist Samantha Lewthwaite is linked to various violent attacks, as well as masterminding the murder of about 400 people. Some defected members of the Somali-based terrorist group have been feeding information to the authorities, stating that "White Widow" is also referred to as the "Mother of Holy War."
 


"Her activities inside the group are increasingly directed by al-Shabaab's chief of intelligence Mahad Karate," said Mohamed Hassan, an intelligence officer, in an interview with MailOnline. They were told that Lewthwaite is currently working with the Intelligence Unit of the Al-Shabaab and has orchestrated numerous attacks, including the mass slaughter of 148 people at the Kenyan university last month.

Lul Ahmed, who had killed 28 people by committing a suicide bombing at the Central Hotel in Mogadishu, is reported to be one of her former students. Ahmed's attack was considered part of a "sophisticated inside job," 28 were killed, including the city's deputy mayor.

"Inside Al-Shabaab, Lewthwaite is given the title 'Mother of Holy War' sources are telling us... Others call her a 'warrior lady.' Her reputation is going up as she attracts many women in the phenomena of the so-called jihad," added Hassan.

The intelligence officer confirmed the information they received came from ex-members of her unit, and some former senior members of the terror group, including the ex-intelligence chief Zakariya Ismail Ahmed Hersi.

They say "White Widow" has murdered about 400 people, after being promoted within the Al-Shabaab, and that she is thought to be close to the terror group's leader.
