Al Shabaab Secret Service Operation: Amniyat Division “Successfully” Planned Garissa Attack
Further analysis of the report indicate that a British Jihadi Samantha Lewthwaite also known as the “White Widow” was a key planner of the Garissa University Attack, following her success in planning the 2013 four-day Westgate Siege where 62 civilians and 6 Kenyan soldiers were killed.
Al Shabaab denied through their media propaganda that no woman was involved in the operation. However, Intelligence reports have gathered that Samantha Lewthwaite was the mastermind behind the Westgate Attack, an operation which raised her ranking in the Al Shabaab Amniyat division.
Having rose to a higher rank and serving in the Amniyat division, her bravery, intelligence, loyalty to the emir (now Sheikh Ahmed Umar), Al Shabaab assigned her with the responsibility of planning another massive attack which could kill more infidels.
Under the protection of the Mujahideens serving the Jaysh al-Usra (Army of Hardship), the brigades under the Ali Bin Abu Daalib formation in the Lower and Middle Shabelle ensured that Samantha Lewthwaite laid down strategies, planned and assigned Al Shabaab Mujahedeen to attack Garissa University.
Kenyan Intelligence confirm that Al Shabaab Jihadi Samatha Lewthwaite is evil but a clever operator who uses children, women and youth as suicide bombers.
Kenyan Intelligence teams are however tracking down the woman who is believed to be making her way to Mombasa using dhows to stage a deadlier attack in the region.
