1
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:23,320
LONDON, ENGLAND
2
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,720
I remember July 7, 2005.
3
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,080
It was Thursday.
4
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,200
It was so crowded
that I wasn't holding on to anything.
5
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,240
It was enough to rely on people.
6
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:58,480
Only a few seconds have passed
from departure from King's Cross.
7
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,680
I saw a flash and then...
8
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:05,800
darkness fell.
9
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,040
Urgent news from the PA agency.
10
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,720
We receive information about an explosion
11
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:20,600
in London's East End.
12
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,240
I knew immediately that it was an attack.
13
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,600
In the wagon I was riding in,
25 of 52 people died.
14
00:01:32,320 --> 00:01:36,240
It happened in central London
to a series of terrorist attacks.
15
00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:40,840
Many people died and many were injured
there are to be people of many nationalities.
16
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,760
As many as 300 injured, 45 of them seriously.
17
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,480
Traces of explosives detected.
18
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,680
Suspected suicide attack.
19
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:56,320
It would be the first such attack
in the UK.
20
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,600
Germaine was responsible for the deaths of 26 people.
21
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,000
I started researching it.
22
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,680
His wife was Samantha Lewthwaite.
23
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,920
Samantha Lewthwaite. "The White Widow".
24
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,720
She was the wife of one of the attackers.
25
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,800
She is also considered the originator of the idea
numerous terrorist operations.
26
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,080
It's the most wanted one
woman in the world.
27
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:28,400
She could do a lot.
28
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,680
Planner, propagator, organizer.
29
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,280
Operated with Al-Shabaab in East Africa.
30
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,200
She knew how to avoid it
detection and observation.
31
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,680
This excited her.
32
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:48,760
She won against us.
33
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,760
She failed to bring her to court.
34
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,080
MOTHER OF ALL TERRORISTS
35
00:02:56,920 --> 00:02:59,320
I would arrest her on the spot.
36
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,440
But this woman won't give up easily.
37
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:05,520
And neither do I.
38
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,560
"WHITE WIDOW"
39
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,640
Lewthwaite earned this nickname
40
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:50,840
after the death of her husband, Germaine Lindsay,
London suicide bomber.
41
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,360
WANTED FOR TERRORISM
42
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,160
She has been wanted for four years.
43
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,000
WANTED BY INTERPOL, CIA, MI6 AND MI5
44
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:11,720
After the attacks
and identifying terrorists
45
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,800
Samantha didn't have it easy.
46
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,320
She had to answer many questions.
47
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,200
Not only those brought by the police,
but also by her loved ones.
48
00:04:22,280 --> 00:04:24,040
“Did you know anything about this?”
49
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,400
JOURNALIST
50
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,080
We took her for the first time
to a certain residence.
51
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,280
Individual buildings on the property
were for rent.
52
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,240
Beautiful, green meadows
and a river flowing nearby.
53
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:52,800
We basked outside
waiting for Samantha.
54
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:02,080
She came by taxi
along with her newborn daughter.
55
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:06,600
We were surprised to see
that she has a full hijab.
56
00:05:09,840 --> 00:05:14,720
It didn't fit at all
to the local inhabitants and surroundings.
57
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,600
Later she decided to reveal her face.
58
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,680
Everyone wanted to talk to her.
59
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,800
THE WIFE OF THE JULY 7 ASSEMBLER
60
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,040
She was a white convert.
61
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:40,320
In reference to her husband's crimes
she presented herself as a naive victim.
62
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,240
JAMAL WOULDN'T LEAVE ME.
TEST YOUR DNA.
63
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:47,040
Of course, she condemned the attacks.
64
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,240
She said her husband couldn't do it.
65
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,280
RESEARCH FROM KING'S COLLEGE
66
00:05:56,280 --> 00:06:00,600
LONDON, 2003
67
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,760
Samantha Lewthwaite
she met Germaine Lindsay
68
00:06:03,840 --> 00:06:05,440
at an anti-war protest.
69
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,400
The fact that she met him on such a march,
is not without significance.
70
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:23,480
Frustration resulting
from the British-American invasion of Iraq
71
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:29,320
was one of the main factors
that led to the July 7 attacks.
72
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,240
And consequently,
It didn't necessarily bother her
73
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:40,480
if her husband and his accomplices
they were planning such an attack.
74
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,680
We conducted the interview for three days.
75
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:53,560
It is worth noting that
that the police questioned her thoroughly
76
00:06:53,840 --> 00:06:56,640
and she didn't start to suspect her.
77
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,480
No one accused her of complicity.
78
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,880
Everything fit her story.
79
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,320
When I think about it now
then I'm sure she was just pretending.
80
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,720
But then I believed every word.
81
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:29,520
Samantha Lewthwaite was only pretending.
She claimed that she was an unwitting wife.
82
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,560
“In our relationship
There was nothing wrong or suspicious.”
83
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:40,040
But over time
we started to suspect
84
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:44,360
that not everything he tells us
may be true.
85
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:53,520
RETIRED DETECTIVE
SCOTLAND YARD
86
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,280
Take for example the family of Hasib Hussain.
87
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,040
This is one of the attackers.
88
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,720
His parents are calling us saying,
89
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:14,040
that their son is in London and they are worried.
90
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,240
And Samantha Lewthwaite
she wasn't worried at all.
91
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,440
She called the police after a week.
92
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,280
Why wasn't she worried about her husband?
93
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:28,760
"I'm seven months pregnant,
and my husband is not coming home.”
94
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,080
She named her daughter Shahid.
95
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,160
And "shahid" is the term for a martyr.
96
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,480
She called her child “martyr.”
97
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,560
And yet she apparently felt disgusted by it,
98
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,040
what her husband did.
99
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,560
I pushed to have her arrested.
100
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,880
I wanted her to be considered suspicious.
101
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,600
But an officer
the investigator believed
102
00:09:17,680 --> 00:09:22,040
that we don't have enough evidence
and the Prosecutor's Service will not agree.
103
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:32,280
And I can't survive this
that he can still kill more people.
104
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,160
I think about it every day.
105
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,600
Let's also look at the events in Mombasa.
106
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:48,400
She won against us.
107
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:02,960
AFTER THE INTERVIEW
SAMANTHA LEWTHWAITE DISAPPEARS…
108
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:08,920
APPEARING SIX YEARS LATER
109
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,800
AFRICA
110
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:12,560
KENYA
111
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:40,040
DECEMBER 2011
112
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:51,280
We found out that a certain group
is planning an attack in Mombasa.
113
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,160
We had to act quickly
114
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:00,160
to prevent this.
115
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:05,920
Through observation, we found out
which house served as their base.
116
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:12,200
HEAD OF THE ANTI-TERRORIST GROUP
117
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,720
We had to enter this house.
118
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:22,960
It had two bedrooms.
119
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,200
There was an orphanage there.
Mattresses and all that.
120
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:30,360
And some containers.
121
00:11:31,680 --> 00:11:35,000
There was acetone, hydrogen peroxide.
122
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,720
Power sources in the form of batteries.
Altimeters.
123
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:46,240
And after that we knew
that they create explosives.
124
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,760
After analyzing
found documents
125
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:57,560
we have identified the owner of the house:
it was a certain Germaine John Grant.
126
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:00,480
He was British.
127
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,680
We had him arrested.
128
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:27,080
During his testimony he said,
that Samantha was behind the preparations.
129
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:32,200
She financed their group
and coordinated its activities.
130
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:34,800
She was behind everything.
131
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:45,560
This is the first time I found out about her
from an article in the competing Times.
132
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:50,920
It involved Lewthwaite
with the mentioned terrorist cell.
133
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,800
They were the same materials
that her husband used
134
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,960
during the London attacks in 2005.
135
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,440
FORMER CORRESPONDENT OF DAILY TELEGRAPH
136
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,640
The police had enough evidence
137
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:11,360
to arrest Germaine Grant
at this house in Mombasa.
138
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:18,160
Grant sent a text message to his phone,
139
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:22,040
which belonged to Samantha Lewthwaite,
writing that "the lions are coming."
140
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,600
This was his way of warning her.
141
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,520
She managed to escape
just before the police arrived.
142
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:40,120
We had to explore all the places
where they could stay.
143
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,920
There was a white woman in one of the houses.
144
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:51,240
The Kenyan police knocked on the door.
Samantha Lewthwaite answered the door.
145
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:59,160
She was completely composed.
She was wearing a hijab.
146
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,440
The children were playing at home.
147
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,520
She said she would be happy to talk
showed proof of identity.
148
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,680
“Natalia Faye Webb.”
149
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:18,360
We checked the passport.
150
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:21,200
It was her.
151
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:25,960
The document was not a forgery.
152
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:31,560
She said she was a South African citizen
and her name is “Natalie Faye Webb.”
153
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,800
The passport seemed flawless.
154
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,120
She was completely composed.
155
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,640
The police gave her her passport back,
they said they could come back
156
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:47,760
and they drove away.
157
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,960
However, we later found out
158
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,360
that a person with that name does not exist.
159
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:10,320
We immediately sent another team there.
160
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,040
But she wasn't there anymore.
161
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:15,720
Of course she ran away.
162
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:21,800
We found some things.
163
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:28,240
The most intriguing document
there was a British birth certificate…
164
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:30,760
Samantha Lewthwaite.
165
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,960
We were interested in something else.
166
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,800
These were documents
which led us to another house.
167
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,640
The luxurious villa where she lived,
168
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:11,120
was close to a group of hotels near Shanzu,
i.e. a charming beach in Mombasa.
169
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:24,040
We discovered cash in this house
in a black garbage bag.
170
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,440
And also ammunition, rifles
and fake passports.
171
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,360
They wanted to commit an attack
at the Christmas rush.
172
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,320
We saw what it looked like in Tunisia.
173
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:44,480
Or at the Paradise Hotel in Mombasa
nine years earlier.
174
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:49,280
All you had to do was walk there with a gun
and stage a massacre.
175
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,720
Mombasa has a crowded center.
176
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,440
We also have tourists from the West there,
177
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:26,240
diving, people in bikini,
178
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,760
and on the other hand
a large Muslim population.
179
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,160
FORMER UN INVESTIGATORS
180
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:39,120
There are militias operating in the country.
181
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,960
Islamic extremists operate in Kenya
182
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,200
since the beginning of the 1990s
183
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,080
Samantha Lewthwaite chose Kenya,
184
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:02,560
and not another jihadist stronghold,
which is, for example, Iraq or Syria.
185
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:09,760
Kenyans know English,
so there would be no language barrier.
186
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:19,280
No visa required
it was definitely an important factor too.
187
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,520
In June, half a year after the escape,
188
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:34,960
she returned to the lion's den.
189
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:43,920
ACCOUNTANT
190
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,560
My name is Peter Okono.
191
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,040
I witnessed the attack
to the beer garden in Jericho.
192
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,520
It was a very popular bar back then.
193
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:06,640
Officials, policemen
and administration employees
194
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:08,720
they liked going there
195
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,120
because tasty dishes were served there
and there were nice parties.
196
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:22,440
I dropped by as usual.
They were supposed to broadcast the match.
197
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,280
There was live music.
198
00:19:24,360 --> 00:19:28,160
The whole place was crowded.
199
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,800
I noticed a certain woman.
200
00:19:47,360 --> 00:19:50,440
She didn't look like our compatriots.
201
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:52,960
She was white.
202
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:00,880
She had a hijab.
203
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,480
Usually in places like this
204
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,320
you don't meet white people.
205
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,600
She looked determined.
206
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:18,800
Concentrated.
207
00:20:24,360 --> 00:20:27,720
I managed to see her face.
208
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,480
She had blue eyes.
209
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,000
And after a while...
210
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:42,240
there was an explosion.
211
00:20:55,640 --> 00:21:00,320
This is after the explosion.
One of the victims died at this place.
212
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,480
The explosion was followed by confusion.
213
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,320
People were running like crazy.
214
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:12,120
Some people just wanted to
save your life.
215
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,960
There were many injured and bloody people.
216
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,960
They had blood on their faces and hands.
217
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,920
Three people died.
218
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,000
Was that the woman?
219
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:32,240
Yes.
220
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,880
I can confirm that I saw her.
221
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:44,840
Just like three other people.
222
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,160
This is confirmed by the parking attendant.
223
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,760
I prepared photos
three random women.
224
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:01,640
And I showed it to him with a picture of Lewthwaite,
and he pointed to her.
225
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:10,880
Since then, no one has testified
that he saw Samantha Lewthwaite.
226
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:29,680
This girl
227
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:33,840
this young woman decided
that he would follow this path in life.
228
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,880
RETIRED COLONEL
BRITISH ARMY
229
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:41,440
In the beginning, as a young woman,
230
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,320
she should have some sense
231
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,880
as to danger and terrorism.
232
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,880
Her father had dealt with this.
233
00:22:58,360 --> 00:23:00,680
NORTHERN IRELAND
234
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,400
It has been shaped
235
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:08,600
by a British soldier
who served for a long time in Northern Ireland.
236
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:10,800
He met an Irish woman there.
237
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,440
She grew up there.
238
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:28,800
Her father received awards
and bonuses for your service.
239
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,120
He faced terrorism every day.
240
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:40,880
She was born
during the war on terrorism.
241
00:23:41,360 --> 00:23:44,560
It surrounded her and eventually absorbed her.
242
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:05,000
MOMBASA, KENYA
243
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,920
The police found a laptop.
244
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:17,120
There was a lot of information there,
that were useful to the services.
245
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,560
There were photos of her with her children.
246
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,600
He has accounts on WhatsApp and Facebook.
He listens to Beyoncé.
247
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,760
Like an ordinary person,
with whom we travel by bus.
248
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,960
And a jihadist who wants to kill you.
249
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,600
The police also found her diary.
250
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,760
I WANT TO BECOME A MUJAHEDIN
251
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:45,920
THE ROLE OF WOMEN IN JIHAD
252
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,200
MAY ALLAH REWARD YOU
253
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,760
There was even a poem there.
254
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:52,560
"Ode to Osama".
255
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:57,440
It's a 34-line poem
praising Osama bin Laden.
256
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:04,080
She was photographed at that time
with a certain Abdul Wahid.
257
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:06,520
Her new husband.
258
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,320
He is a former Kenyan army officer.
259
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:16,080
Apparently he left the army
and fled to al-Shabaab.
260
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:26,400
Al-Shabaab in 2012
formed an alliance with Al-Qaeda.
261
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:30,920
FORMER HEAD OF SOMALI INTELLIGENCE
262
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,440
They became better organized.
263
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,480
Car bombs,
suicide bombings, mines.
264
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:38,680
Murders.
265
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,800
Their cruelty
it makes people afraid.
266
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:50,600
Samantha is the key foreigner
fighting in the structures of Al-Shabaab.
267
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:54,560
She is highly placed in this organization.
268
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,160
This is a surprising promotion.
269
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:03,880
But this is not new.
270
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:07,720
There have already been converts,
who became jihadists
271
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,840
and first like her
played a symbolic role,
272
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:15,400
and then their influence grew.
273
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:23,920
In his diary he writes about
as her husband asked,
274
00:26:24,120 --> 00:26:26,240
who she would like her children to become.
275
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,960
Her eldest son
and the eldest daughter said,
276
00:26:33,120 --> 00:26:35,440
that they want to become mujahideen.
277
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:37,080
Warriors.
278
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,520
This is one of a woman's main household tasks
279
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:45,400
living among jihadists,
especially those from Al-Shabaab.
280
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:52,560
He raises his entire family in such a way
to encourage everyone
281
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:56,840
to join the fight
fought by their organization.
282
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:03,240
Having children with such a woman
is very important.
283
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:08,160
Usually the husband dies,
and the woman marries again.
284
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:13,240
One of her tasks
is to give birth to future soldiers.
285
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:14,640
And leaders.
286
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:19,240
MOTHER OF ALL TERRORISTS
287
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:37,280
AYLESBURY, ENGLAND
288
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:44,400
Aylesbury is a small town.
289
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,840
Samantha moved there when she was 11 years old.
290
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:50,480
She was born in Ireland.
She went to school and grew up there.
291
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,040
Her parents' separation…
292
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:57,680
affected her.
293
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:02,200
She was neither on her mother's nor her father's side.
She was friends with a Muslim woman.
294
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:05,600
She spent all her time with her.
295
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,160
She often stayed here.
296
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,240
And here she lived.
297
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:42,200
CHILD PSYCHOLOGIST FROM AYLESBURY
298
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,440
When she was a teenager,
299
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:51,680
she was a normal British kid.
300
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,200
Pale, with blue eyes.
301
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:04,120
Normal friends.
302
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:08,200
Normal girl.
303
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:15,120
The only change in her life
was the conversion to Islam.
304
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:19,440
That's the point.
305
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:24,000
She's your typical girl next door.
Classic British.
306
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:29,440
There was no indication that he was a monster.
That it's obvious.
307
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:34,640
Not at all. She looked normal.
And that made her dangerous.
308
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:52,280
NAIROBI, KENYA
309
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,520
WESTGATE SHOPPING CENTER
310
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:15,040
SEPTEMBER 21, 2013
311
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:19,600
Oh God.
312
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:29,160
There was a fierce exchange of fire
under the shopping center.
313
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:33,240
Black smoke is coming from the building.
314
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:35,400
We don't know what's going on.
315
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:40,840
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
Peter Dobby, BBC World News.
316
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:45,520
The attackers opened fire
in a shopping mall in the capital of Kenya.
317
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,320
The Red Cross says
about at least 22 victims
318
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,360
and several dozen injured.
319
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,960
The government suspects a terrorist attack,
320
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,640
but he asks
to refrain from speculation.
321
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:07,800
Attack on the Westgate shopping center
322
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,240
this is a typical al-Shabaab tactic.
323
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:19,680
Attack using inghimasi,
i.e. suicide bombers.
324
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:24,360
There were four of them there.
325
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,320
They entered from both sides.
326
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,440
From the top and main entrance.
327
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,200
One team threw grenades.
328
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,760
Everyone was shooting at people,
walking through the center.
329
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,600
They killed people they met along the way.
330
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:37,240
61 civilians were killed in the attack.
331
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:50,720
It also paid the highest price
six officers,
332
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:52,800
who took up the fight.
333
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:56,520
According to our sources
334
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:58,640
woman from Great Britain
335
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:04,200
and two or three U.S. citizens
may be involved in the attack.
336
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,600
LONDON, ENGLAND
337
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:19,920
Before September 11, we didn't understand
neither Islamism nor Islamic terrorism.
338
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:31,000
We started observing them
and monitor it,
339
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:33,840
what they say about our country.
340
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:37,080
Some were born here.
Why are they doing this?
341
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:47,880
Samantha Lewthwaite very quickly
joined the activities of extremists.
342
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:58,280
These eight clergymen
was saying dangerous things.
343
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:00,440
No more global games.
344
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:04,040
And it is you, Europeans,
you will pay the most for it.
345
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:13,800
If Samantha Lewthwaite
she wanted to do something radical,
346
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,000
something that involves attacking others,
347
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:19,480
they were already waiting for her.
348
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:30,800
We have new news about the attack
on a shopping mall in Kenya.
349
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:34,920
Kenyan authorities inform
about the arrest of eight suspects.
350
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:41,520
An international arrest warrant has been issued
concerning a woman known as the White Widow.
351
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,520
Was she involved?
in the attack on the center in Kenya?
352
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,680
Interpol issued a global red notice
353
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,360
in the case of Samantha Lewthwaite.
354
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:56,920
At the time of the Westgate attack,
355
00:34:57,920 --> 00:34:59,600
her career was taking off.
356
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:03,680
So no one should be surprised,
that since the attack
357
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:07,040
has become very recognizable.
358
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:12,320
She became one of the most
wanted people in the world.
359
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:17,680
Prestige and fame in her environment
it adds to her
360
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:19,440
that he is still at large.
361
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,800
RED NOTE
WANTED BY KENYA
362
00:35:24,240 --> 00:35:28,800
Interpol, CIA, MI5, MI6 are looking for her...
Literally everyone.
363
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:34,200
Someone is definitely protecting her.
He has a good hiding place.
364
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,040
The Somali-Kenyan border is long.
365
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,000
KENYA AND SOMALIA BORDER
366
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,120
You need to have contacts,
367
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:54,760
thanks to which you can avoid
police stations and checkpoints.
368
00:35:55,680 --> 00:36:00,280
In some places
just across the border lie the areas of Al-Shabaab.
369
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:06,120
With proper communication
someone could have thrown it across the border
370
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:09,560
and take it to a safe place.
371
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:14,600
She probably went to a hiding place,
where he hides from the world.
372
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:16,640
AFRICA
373
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:34,600
MOGADISHU
374
00:36:55,880 --> 00:37:00,120
Someone like Samantha
wanted all over the world,
375
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,120
will be captured.
376
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:11,360
I have no sympathy for a woman,
who chose such a destructive life.
377
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:18,360
We both come from the UK
and we are women of a similar age.
378
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:22,720
We're both fighting the same war
but on opposite sides.
379
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:29,440
DEPUTY CHIEF OF THE SOMALI POLICE
380
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:34,720
We are in the same fight.
We are both Muslims.
381
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,480
Of course this is very frustrating.
382
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:48,960
Take the main road.
Smaller streets are blocked.
383
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:51,160
Okay, boss.
384
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:56,400
I am their target.
385
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:58,960
I survived two attempts on my life.
386
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:03,400
There's a bounty on my head.
But hey, you only live once.
387
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:06,480
You have to take care of it
for your life to make sense.
388
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:27,200
This is a key intersection.
389
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,200
The main threat is bombs.
390
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,120
Al-Shabaab is an ongoing problem.
391
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:42,240
That's why we try to fully understand
how they function.
392
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:46,320
How they work, what they do and when
how they recruit and so on.
393
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:57,880
Arresting someone like Samantha
is very important.
394
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:01,680
May hold important information.
395
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:05,840
And it's dangerous
so we would neutralize the threat.
396
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:23,240
In my opinion, Samantha
no different from mafia bosses.
397
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:29,760
He also wants to make money and gain influence.
Religion has nothing to do with it.
398
00:39:43,720 --> 00:39:49,520
She knows she's wanted
so he doesn't stay in one place.
399
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:54,760
He must change his place of stay.
400
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:05,240
In areas controlled by Al-Shabaab
401
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:10,200
people are killed regularly
after being accused of espionage.
402
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,560
Hence the possible release of Samantha
403
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:19,400
and providing information about it
is risky.
404
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:27,520
We happened to observe her movements
405
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:31,760
on the Somali-Kenyan border.
406
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:35,520
One time I almost missed
for us to catch her.
407
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:40,760
She was in Jilibah.
408
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:46,880
But it's hard to arrest her
409
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:52,440
because it sticks to the areas
taken over by Al-Shabaab.
410
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:57,520
We have limited options there.
411
00:40:59,720 --> 00:41:01,160
She's safe there.
412
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:14,920
We couldn't
use drones against her,
413
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:18,280
because it remains
a British citizen,
414
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:23,120
and British law does not allow it
to kill a citizen in such a way.
415
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:28,760
It orders the capture of a given person.
416
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:30,920
It cannot be eliminated.
417
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:35,560
We know where he is, but that doesn't mean
that you can get her
418
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:38,600
sending representatives of the law
or service agents
419
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:41,320
without exposing them to death
420
00:41:42,240 --> 00:41:45,120
or causing civilian casualties.
421
00:41:45,720 --> 00:41:50,920
Maybe for now
it is best to observe her.
422
00:42:01,720 --> 00:42:05,160
She devoted her whole life
to become a terrorist.
423
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:09,720
She's probably pleased with herself.
424
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:12,560
But he knows there is no turning back.
425
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:15,760
He cannot travel freely.
426
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,160
British and international services
427
00:42:20,240 --> 00:42:26,360
they won't let her disappear again for five years,
to show up later with a new passport.
428
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:32,320
Someone like Samantha
he won't survive in Somalia.
429
00:42:32,720 --> 00:42:34,680
It will no longer be useful.
430
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:40,360
She certainly took care of it
for your safety.
431
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:44,480
He doesn't use the phone.
Transmits encrypted messages.
432
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:46,280
But I know one thing.
433
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:49,240
This will end.
434
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:53,160
I'm sure of it.
435
00:43:56,920 --> 00:44:00,920
