Interpol issues alert for the "White Widow"

Interpol issues alert for British terror widow

PARIS (AP) — Interpol has issued an arrest notice for Samantha Lewthwaite, the fugitive Briton whom news media have dubbed the "white widow."

The international police agency says the notice was issued at the request of Kenya, where she is wanted on charges of possessing explosives and conspiracy to commit a felony in December 2011.

Lewthwaite was married to one of the suicide bombers who attacked London's transport network in 2005.

She is wanted by Kenyan authorities over alleged involvement in a plot to bomb holiday resorts there.

that female terrorist are being highlighted. Highlighted is not the best word choice and for that I apologize. Females and the role that they can play is not often talked about in general. I will admit up front that research is not my strong suit but I have always have had an interest in the role a woman has when it comes to being a terrorist.
