'White Widow' Samantha taunts detectives with Jimmy Cliff's Reggae song

Terrorists hiding Samantha Lewthwaite, dubbed the White Widow, have taunted detectives by revealing she recently travelled through a remote town in Somalia.

A message posted in the last few days on Lewthwaite's Twitter account, quoting lyrics from the song Many Rivers To Cross by reggae legend Jimmy Cliff, gave the first clue about her whereabouts since Nairobi's shopping mall massacre.

Security officers believe that Lewthwaite may have been behind last month's terrorists attack on the Westgate mall.

According to the Mirror, the message on the account read: "Many rivers to cross, but I can't seem to find my way over wandering, I am lost as I travel along the Mountains of Galgala..."

It refers to a remote area of Somalia close to the town of Bari and is thought to have been posted on Lewthwaite's behalf by Al-shabaab terrorists.

Lewthwaite, who is the widow of 7/7 bomber Jermaine Lindsay, has been on the run since last year when police foiled a plot to blow up Western hotels in Mom.

Investigators have long been monitoring Lewthwaite's Twitter account in the hunt for the world's most wanted woman.

In the last few months it is thought militants from the Al-Shabab, who are helping hide her, have been posting messages on her behalf, the report added.
