By Rebecca Evans and Jill Reilly PUBLISHED: 10:26 EST, 11 May 2012 | UPDATED: 20:01 EST, 11 May 2012 Terrorist widow Samantha Lewthwaite has been charged with plotting to kill hundreds of British tourists. The Muslim convert – who was married to 7/7 Tube bomber Jermaine Lindsay – is on the run in East Africa after police foiled an Al Qaeda-linked bomb plot against holidaymakers in the Kenyan coastal city of Mombasa. Yesterday it emerged that ‘white widow’ Lewthwaite, 28, originally from Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, has been charged in her absence by Kenyan police with ‘conspiring to improvise an explosive device with the intent to cause harm to innocent civilians’. It is believed she has fled to lawless Somalia with her three young children.
