The paper, quoting unverified reports from a Moscow news agency, Regnum, claimed that the notorious terrorist who has operated from Kenya was gunned down by a Russian sniper two weeks ago.
“One of the world’s most
wanted terrorists Samantha Lewthwaite who fought as part of a Ukrainian
battalion has been killed by a volunteer sniper,” the news agency reported.
“According to our
information, the White Widow fought on the side of Ukrainian volunteer
battalion Aidar as a sniper”.
She is believed to have
run terrorist cells operating between Mombasa and Somalia for many years.
During the Westgate Mall
terrorist attack in Nairobi in 2013, there were unproven claims of her.
Ms Lewthwaite, 30, is
believed to have coordinated several terror attacks in the country and escaped
a police dragnet in Mombasa and fled to Somalia.
Another Briton, Jermaine
Grant, who is on trial in Mombasa, is also believed to be Ms Lewthwaite’s
accomplice.
