Kenya: Interpol Issues 'White Widow' Alert

The government has requested the International Criminal Police Organisation to issue a red notice on British fugitive Samantha Lewthwaite, also known as the 'White Widow', apparently based on a 2011 crime - not the Westgate Mall attack. Speculation that Lewthwaite was involved has been fuelled by witnesses at the mall insisting that a woman was giving the orders during the shooting.

Police respond to the deadly siege at Westgate Mall in Nairobi, Kenya.
