Laptop files reveal White Widow Samantha Lewthwaite surfed internet for make-up and dieting tips as she masterminded Nairobi terror attack

White Widow Samantha Lewthwaite surfed the internet for make-up and dieting tips before unleashing last month's deadly attack on Nairobi's Westgate shopping mall, according to files unearthed on her laptop.
The world's most wanted woman looked up books on 'how to burn fat fast' and visited sites dedicated to western fashion, police hunting the terror suspect said.
Agents say the browsing history suggests she may have been planning to dramatically alter her appearance in a bid to continue her life on the run as she continues to slip through their fingers.

Searches of her laptop also revealed a penchant for summer dresses and open-toe shoes, according to the Daily Mirror.
A source told the paper: 'She has evaded capture for so long that it stands to reason she is a woman who is capable of changing her appearance to remain on the run.
'She is known to use many different identities and is adept at not arousing suspicion, while blending into her surroundings with ease.'

Alias: She had been living in South Africa under the alias of Natalie Faye Webb, an identity she stole from a nurse

The children: Police also said it appeared she has been 'grooming her children to become killers'

It comes as police hunting for the wife of London suicide bomber Jermaine Lindsay said she may be planning more deadly attacks after the Kenyan atrocity that killed at least 67 people.
Documents uncovered on her personal computer reveal she not only has the knowledge to commit slaughter on a giant scale, but also the funds, say police.
A source told The Mirror: 'The international security community is working round the clock to identify her whereabouts and capture her without delay.

'The lives of hundreds, if not thousands, of innocent people are at risk if she is able to launch an attack. She needs to be stopped in her tracks before it is too late. She is a danger to the world.'
They seized her laptop in October 2011 alongside her diary and now say information gleaned from both suggest she may have been planning to attack a shopping mall for up to two years.
Police also said it appeared she has been 'grooming her children to become killers'.
A source added that she is believed to have been behind at least six terror attacks.
A confidential Scotland Yard file on her revealed last month that she is secretly married to a former officer in the Kenyan Navy.

Terror: As well as being the suspected mastermind behind the Westgate mall attack (pictured), which killed 67 people and left 71 missing and 200 injured, she is sought for earlier plots in her role as a major player in Al Qaeda¿s Somali offshoot, Al Shabaab

The dossier throws new light on the shadowy world of the mother of four who converted to Islam as a schoolgirl and is now the world’s most wanted woman.
As well as being the suspected mastermind behind the Westgate mall attack, which killed 67 people and left 71 missing and 200 injured, she is sought for earlier plots in her role as a major player in Al Qaeda’s Somali offshoot, Al Shabaab.
Muslim convert Lewthwaite, 29, widow of 7/7 suicide bomber Jermaine Lindsay, left Britain for Africa with her children in 2009 and has been on the run for 20 months.
But a Mail on Sunday investigation revealed that her current husband – a man named Abdi Wahid who in  his 40s – has been free to travel as he wishes, and is currently in continental Europe.
Wahid was arrested in 2011 when police discovered that his house in the coastal city of Mombasa had been turned into a potential bomb factory by Lewthwaite and her associates. He was never charged with any offence.
Exactly how much he knew of his wife’s clandestine activities is not clear but detectives now believe he could hold the key to unlocking her network of terror. 
It is not known exactly when their marriage took place, but Lewthwaite had evidently left her old life in  Britain behind by then and was deeply involved with Al Shabaab.
