Samantha Lewthwaite.

Lamu, Kenya: Police bosses in Lamu held a crisis meeting following revelations that some junior officers had in April this year offered armed escort for a mysterious white woman in a vehicle that was used to attack and kill two Kenya Defence Forces soldiers last week.

Local County Commander Leonard Omollo confirmed his officers had offered an escort to a woman in the area but the documents she produced did not show she was a wanted woman.
