One of Britain's most wanted people, a British woman terrorist suspect
dubbed the 'White Widow' has reportedly been killed in Ukraine. And
according to the story's source, Regnum News Agency in Moscow, Samantha
Lewthwaite, 30, was gunned down by a Russian sniper two weeks ago. The
News Agency said:
'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.
According
to our information, the White Widow fought on the side of Ukrainian
volunteer battalion Aidar as a sniper. She was killed by 'a volunteer
sniper who came to fight at the Lugansk front from Russia. The
Russian sniper who killed the British terrorist now has a price of
nearly one million dollars on his head from Ukrainian special services.'
DailyMail,
however notes that the extraordinary unconfirmed claim came amid a
welter of propaganda from Moscow and Kiev over the Ukrainian crisis. And
there are suspicions that the claim that Lewthwaite is dead could be an
attempt by Russia to bolster its anti-terrorism credentials at a time
when it is controversially massing armour and troops in Ukraine.
Reports
last month claimed Lewthwaite - a former soldier's daughter - joined
Islamic State earlier this year and became one of the most powerful
women in the network. Born in Northern Ireland and schooled in
Aylesbury, she was not previously linked to Ukraine.
Lewthwaite
was married to 7/7 suicide bomber Germaine Lindsay, 19, a Jamaican-born
Yorkshireman, and allegedly left Britain in 2009 before being linked to
atrocities in Africa.
She was also responsible for training a
special team of female suicide bombers in Syria, it was alleged.
Lewthwaite allegedly trained and mentored British converts who
volunteered to fight for the IS. The 7/7 attack on the London transport
network on 7 July 2005 killed 52 people.
