It would seem that Al Qaeda has embraced feminism, there will much rejoicing amongst the sistahood.
Along with millions of other young women, Samantha Lewthwaite loves social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook. But rather than innocent chat about music, fashion or parties, this 29-year-old’s main topic of conversation is the poisonous internal politics of the world’s most feared terror network.
For Lewthwaite, from a military family in Buckinghamshire, is waging an astonishing battle for control over Al-Qaeda’s sophisticated East African terror cells. The former wife of one of the suicide bombers who attacked the London Underground in July 2005, known to her devoted acolytes as dada mzungu — Swahili for white sister — has become the ‘trainer’ of an all-female suicide bomber squad targeting Westerners in East Africa as part of the terror group’s global jihad.
Her appointment was announced on a website sympathetic to the cause, which revealed that Lewthwaite ‘gave her life to Allah and now she serves Allah as his female soldier in [Somalia]’, where she ‘commands her all-female mujahid terror squad and conducts operations against the kuffar [non-Muslims]’.
Such is her growing reputation within Al-Qaeda that Lewthwaite, who once went to school discos in Aylesbury in the latest fashions, has felt sufficiently emboldened to launch a vitriolic public attack on a powerful fellow white terror convert.
