White widow Samantha Lewthwaite is ‘alive and well’ and living in southern Somalia with her jihadist husband, a wanted al-Qaeda suspect who calls himself Marco Costa, Kenyan sources said today.
In a forged Mozambican passport obtained by MailOnline his picture clearly identifies him as Fahmi Jamal Salim who has been on the run from Kenyan police since he shot and killed two police officers in Nairobi in 2011.
Lewthwaite and Salim also appear in a ‘selfie’ taken at their home. Police are using these and pictures of their two children in a countrywide manhunt for the couple.
Counter-terrorism sources in Kenya revealed their updated profile of Lewthwaite in response to claims from a Moscow news agency earlier this week that she had been killed by sniper fire while fighting with a Ukrainian volunteer battalion against pro-Russian rebels.
Kenyan intelligence authorities are demanding to see Lewthwaite’s body and say they refuse to believe she has been part of any militia outside East Africa.
