'White Widow' not involved in Kenya mall massacre as four attackers named

Samantha Lewthwaite, dubbed the White Widow, was not involved in the attack on a Kenyan shopping mall, police have said.

The Kenyan police has named the four men who are believed to have carried out the atrocity.

The names of four of the attackers were confirmed by a military spokesman in Kenya, as new CCTV footage from the shopping centre appears to show the heavily-armed men in the middle of their assault.

According to the Metro, government officials believe the four terrorists were the only ones involved in the attack.

Major Emmanuel Chirchir said the attackers were Abu Baara al-Sudani, Omar Nabhan, Khattab al-Kene and Umayr.

Kenyan police confirmed ‘there was no woman’ among the attackers, ending speculation that Lewthwaite was one the armed attacker.
