The "White Widow" Samantha Lewthwaite is reportedly training suicide bombers for Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in Syria.
The British terrorist is considered to be one of the world's most wanted terrorists. It is believed that she joined ISIS early this year to join them with their terror campaign and is now set to train other women to become suicide bombers.

According to intelligence sources, the "White Widow" has become a powerful influence in the ISIL network. She is also dubbed as the "Important Woman" or the "Special One."
Her new task would entail converting volunteers to Islam and providing them with intel on the ISIL network.
A source told The Daily Star that they have accumulated information regarding a British woman who holds high office in the Islamic State. She is said to be a widow who lost her husband, a former jihadi fighter.
With this information, they were able to narrow down the list of the suspects.
Lewthwaite lost her husband, Germaine Lindsday, in 2005 after a London bombing. Lindsay is said to be the culprit for that bombing incident. That same year, she joined the Islamic group.
Lewthwaite's main weapon is her propaganda, the source added. It is also possible that she is the one behind the beheading videos released by ISIS.
She is also evading capture from the U.S., British and Kenyan authorities because she is suspected to have plotted the bomb attacks in Kenya in 2011.
The "White Widow" has been linked to the Somalian terror group al-Shabaab and is believed to be working with them during the Kenyan attack in Nairobi last September which killed at least 67 civilians.
Last month, a police source from U.K. stated that Lewthwaite had undergone surgery to change her appearance.
