/// For the past three months the woman thought to be Samantha Lewthwaite has been missing after crossing from Kenya into Tanzania on Boxing Day with her three young children. ///

As long as this brain washed person and her brood remains in Africa, I couldn't care less, it's if she tries to get back into this country we should worry about.

I like this bit;

/// Outside the Aylesbury Ghausia mosque, children cycle by while gardeners potter about in the surrounding well-tended allotments. A picture of suburban contentment. ///

Ah, tranquil England, "This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England".
A spokesman for the terrorists involved in the Kenyan outrage has stated, for what that's worth, that no foreigners are involved. If true, Lewthwaite is being blamed in the wrong.
aog, she is being blamed by some in the Kenyan security forces as the leader of the mall shootings.
jno

/// aog, she is being blamed by some in the Kenyan security forces as the leader of the mall shootings. ///

Ah I understand now but this fact wasn't in the OP's thread, and the BBC's report is a little vague, much better to get the facts (if that's what they are) from a source with no sensitivities.

If true, If and when caught she should sufferer the usual Islamic punishment.

Well done AOG. Do you think she should have been watched while in the UK and Alerted if she went to places that teain terrorists.
Gromit, not sure SHE should have been alerted - she knew where she was going - but bearing in mind that her husband, a 7/7 bomber, was a convert and so was she, it might not have been a bad idea to keep an eye on her.

The number of converts involved in acts of terrorism is actually quite astonishing.
if you islamically cut her hands off,

it will be difficult to handcuff to anything wont it ?

[ I felt obliged to answer in the tenor of the thread ]
Reports would suggest that this woman is involved in the attack in Nairobi. Fingers crossed this is/was her last attack of such a nature.

if she is involved i hope she does not escape justice, this is a terrible crime, and those who perpetrated it should not be shown mercy, as they have shown none themselves.

The Kenyan authorities have now confirmed Britons and Americans are involved in this attack.
vile whoever in involved, what do they hope to really gain,
//what do they hope to really gain//

What they hope to gain in the future is world dominance. What they hope to achieve at present is slaughter and mayhem - and they have no objection to losing their own lives in the process. For them, life is cheap and death holds no fear - and that is impossible to combat.
al-Shabaab spokesman said they wanted all Kenyan troops out of Somalia, so why don't they leave?
the number of converts may well be astonishing, suspect that they will grow as more youths become disaffected with the west and it's ideologies, anyone from Britain who is affiliated or involved should never be allowed back if caught.
//al-Shabaab spokesman said they wanted all Kenyan troops out of Somalia, so why don't they leave? //

There is a civil war going on in Somalia

The government controls the capital but not much else al-Shabaab which is an al-Qaeda affiliated group controls much ofthe countryside

With the Somalian Government agreement Kenyan forces have been crossing into Somalia and fighting the millitanats

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Linda_Nchi

You bet al-Shabaab want Kenya out of Somalia!!
Al shabaab/alqueda etc. have been using Somalia as a terrorist training ground and a base from which to export terrorism. Not least to Kenya, em. Why should they sit on their hands or turn a blind eye to what's going on. I applaud what they're doing.
Did our security services fail? Well we probebly wont know the answer to that for 50 years.

They are not called the secret service for nothing, the clue is in the name. Maybe they thought that letting her go may lead them to better things, ie the ring leaders. But maybe not, like I say we wont know for 50 years.
// There is disbelief here that Samantha Lewthwaite, who has spent much of her life in the town, could be involved in any terrorist plot.

"The personality in the Samantha I knew is not the one I see on an international platform, it's not the little girl I knew," says Raj Khan, a local councillor who has known her for decades.

"She was a jolly child, a jolly friend, a really good person… well respected in the Pakistani and Muslim community and she was a really good human being," he told Radio 4's The Report. //

If this is true about this young woman we have known then we should at long last become aware of the muslim brainwashing that is going on with some of the young people in our community
I clicked on submit before I was ready, I do wish there was a cancel button.

cntd. I am sorry to say this & I do know that there are Muslims out there who are very good people but I feel nowadays that this religion has become a religion of evil, & it begs the question of why their own leaders are not condemning the terrorist offshoots of the Prophet & dealing with them in the interests of the world as a whole.

/// if you islamically cut her hands off, ///

One receives that very light sentence for stealing, if she has been involved in terrorism, I would have thought that the sentence for that would have been much more harsh.
