| Kenyan President Declares Siege of Westgate Over; Can't Confirm Presence of Americans, Britons in Terrorist Cell »
September 24, 2013
Britain's So-Called "White Widow," Wife of One of the 7/7 London Suicide Bombers, May Be Ringleader of Nairobi Westgate AttackLot of "maybes" in this. Before getting into it, Kenyan some officials deny it. The Foreign Minister floated the possibility, and then other officials denied it. I don't know whether or not to trust them. But Kenyan media reports there is some circumstantial evidence. I don't know whether to trust them, either. Witnesses to the Kenyan shopping centre massacre have said a woman who spoke English was one of the attackers. Britain says there is "next to nothing" to indicate there was a Briton among the attackers. I don't know how reliable Kenyan newspapers are, but I imagine they're even worse than American ones. So this could all be trumped-up. The FBI is investigating the claim that "two or three" Americans were involved in the siege. They report that some Kenyan officials deny that there was any woman among the terrorists. "Two or three Americans" participated in the attack on the Westgate Mall in Nairobi that has left at least 62 people dead and 175 injured, Kenyan Foreign Minister Amina Mohamed said. Among the dead is a Ghanian poet who was in Kenya for a literary convention and decided to do a little shopping. Sixty-two people are said to be dead, including some soldiers that battled the terrorists. The terrorists (Al Shahab, or "The Youth," in Arabic) deny there were any foreign terrorists among them, which I take as confirmation that there were foreigners among them. Here's a bit more background on the White Widow, or as I call her, Murder Whore. She is the wife of Germaine Lindsay, a man who blew himself up on July 7, 2005, at London's King’s Cross subway station killing 26 people. At the time, Lewthwaite, denied having any prior knowledge of the attack. Shortly thereafter, she became a fugitive. Via The Daily Mail, here's the Murder Whore's glamor shot: But apparently terrorists know how to fake a FaceBook glamor shot too, because here's what she really looks like: She's a foul-looking thing and we shouldn't use her carefully-composed Terrorist Selfies in stories about her.
A former marine emerged as a hero of the Nairobi siege yesterday after he was credited with saving up to 100 lives. The former Marine is now a resident of Kenya and his name (and image) are being redacted for security reasons. Update: The possibility of the White Widow's involvement seems to have been broached late yesterday by , by Kenya's Foreign Minister. A British woman who has allegedly taken part in terrorist activity "many times before" was among the attackers who laid siege to a Kenyan shopping mall, the country's foreign minister has said. Correction: I wrote this article with a chronology according to how I came across articles -- not in the order they appeared. This is important because in the last update, I claimed that the Foreign Minister had now resolved the White Widow question in favor of her being present. That maybe there was initial confusion, but now the Foreign Minister had confirmed it. In fact, that's not the order the stories appeared in (I think). I think first the Foreign Minister floated the possibility, and then, later, some other officials knocked his speculation down. So it is not the case as my update originally suggested, that the Foreign Minister has the last, and authoritative, word on this. The chronology seems to be the opposite -- he floated the idea, and other officials have since disputed this claim. So it remains unresolved, and not, as I originally wrote, settled and wrapped up neatly with a sharp little red bow.
