Dailystar reports that WHITE WIDOW Samantha Lewthwaite may be the terror mastermind behind a horrific attack in Nigeria which left 71 dead and hundreds wounded.
A huge explosion ripped through a busy bus station in the country's capital, Abuja, during the peak rush-hour yesterday morning.
The enormous blast destroyed FORTY buses and left a sickening trail of death and destruction as fuel tanks on nearby vehicles also exploded amid the heat of the blast.
But while nobody has officially claimed responsibility, security sources fear the bombing may have been a REVENGE attack for the death of al-Shabaab terror chief Makaburi, aka Sheikh Abubakar Shariff Ahmed - Lewthwaite's MENTOR - just two weeks ago.
Lewthwaite, 30, is believed to be in Nigeria, Kenya or Somalia, where Islamist terror networks are closely linked, making it far easier for her to evade detection than in Europe.
The world's most wanted woman was reportedly caught at a checkpoint in Nigeria just six months ago - but managed to bribe her way to freedom.
It is thought she commands enormous loyalty and power as a white convert, female jihadist, having proved her worth in previous attacks.
As both a mother and widow of a 7/7 bomber, she also provides the groups with invaluable propaganda.
Local police have linked yesterday's bombing to the Boko Haram terrorist network, which has been threatening to attack the Nigerian capital.
