Acting upon requests from Kenyan authorities, Interpol (the International Criminal Police Organization) issued an arrest notice on Thursday for Samantha Lewthwaite, the fugitive British Muslim woman dubbed the "white widow." The Associated Press reported.

The 29-year-old Lewthwaite is a Muslim convert whose first husband was part orchestrating the "7/7" London suicide bombings in 2005 that killed 52 commuters on a bus and on local trains.

Authorities have said they want apprehend Lewthwaite for helping to finance and orchestrate the 2011 plot to bomb holiday resorts in Mombassa, Kenya.

Authorities do not have any evidence as of yet linking Lewthwaite to last week's terorist attack waged by al-Shabaab at an upscale Nairobi shopping mall, news reports said. Kenya's foreign minister did say that a British woman was among the attackers.

The Interpol notice said that the 'white widow' is wanted on charges of possessing explosives and conspiracy to commit a felony in December 2011, The Associated Press also reported.

In the past, Lewthwait made public statements that she criticized her late husband for his involvement in the 2005 terror attacks, since he fell under the influence of imams at radical mosques, news reports said.

After the 2005 terror bombings, Lewthwaite was quoted as saying that her husband "wasn't the sort of person who'd do this."

She stayed largely out of the public view until March, 2012 when her name surfaced in a Kenyan investigation, which showed that she helped fund terror attacks.

Lewthwaite reportedly had been in charges of finances of the planned bomb attacks on the Kenyan coast over the Christmas holidays. In that attack, al-Shabaab also took responsibility. Authorities suspected she was working with a woman who had been shot dead with an al-Qaeda head in Somalia.
