The wife of one of the 7 July 2005 suicide bombers is being sought for questioning in Kenya over a suspected terror plot, it is understood.

Counter-terrorist officers in Nairobi are investigating whether 28-year-old Samantha Lewthwaite, who was married to the King's Cross bomber, Germaine Lindsay, was part of a terror unit, affiliated to the Somali Islamist group al-Shabaab, that planned to target the city of Mombasa last Christmas.

The fugitive – who has three children with her – escaped capture in December when police intercepted the group in Kenya.

Eric Kiraithe, a Kenyan police spokesman, told the Times: "We know quite a bit about her now. She has had three identities in the past and that [Samantha Lewthwaite] is one possible identity."

We need to protect the identity of the child, so that when he grows up and becomes a terrorist like mommy and daddy, no one will know what he looks like!

Someone posted her picture earlier today but I didn’t know who she was. Terrible. She should have been jailed as an accessory to the 2005 bombing.

Where terrorism and terrorists are concerned, it's never too early to display the future wanted poster images.

Unfortunately, Tinypic disappeared with all my good photos, or I would show the image of the famous Palestinian woman holding a heavily armed infant, suicide belt, cartridge belts, the whole nine yards.

Interesting example. Authorities need to consider it vis a vis the Boston bomber’s widow.

Yes, you’re right. I’m sure she was involved in the plot (she couldn’t possibly have not known about it) and no doubt we’ll see her again.
