Samantha Louise Lewthwaite aka White Widow (WW) is one of the most dreaded female terrorist involved in multiple attacks. Born to Irish mum and British father who was posted in Northern Ireland during the violent times, she was no stranger to violence. (1/n)
She loved to London at the age of 11 and parents separation didn’t helped her either. Her only friend was a Muslim girl with whom she hung around. Global stage was changing, US and it’s allies haf declared ‘war on terror’, and Anti-War marches/protests started erupting (2/n).
It was at one of these Anti-War protest at Hyde Park, condemning the Imperial & capitalistic power where she met Germaine Maurice Lindsay who later became Abdullah Shaheed Jamal, one of the bombers at the London Subway. (3/n)
After the attack she put forward a naive face, condemning the attack meanwhile she named his son ‘Shaheed’. Once she had put her innocent side to every Tabloid available, she dropped off the radar, only to be executing another attack in Kenya after 6 years. (4/n)
This thread and the story is shared just to let the parents know that they should be careful if their kids are attending too many protest of such Anti-Fasscist, Anti-West, Anti- War marches. Kids being young and full of energy want to change the world, and rightfully so. (5/n)
But when passion are high, these young blood is very susceptible to be impressions with propaganda, and become easy prey for recruitment for all the trouble making activities. Kids are young and warm blooded but the ones hunting them are cold blooded. So #WatchOut (6/6)
