Samantha Lewthwaite
Samantha Lewthwaite is one of the most wanted fugitives in the world. Though of non-African ancestry, Samantha makes this list because most of her terror and other related criminal activities have centered around Africa. She’s allegedly a member of the Somali-based radical Islamic militant group Al-Shabaab and is believed to be the mastermind behind a number of grenade attacks on non-Muslim places of worship.
Authorities believe the 33-year old Lewthwaite orchestrated the 2012 attack on a bar in Mombasa, Kenya in 2012. She is also believed to be behind the September 2013 Westgate shopping mall attack in Nairobi. The Interpol has issued an arrest warrant for Lewthwaite, who is also wanted in Kenya on charges of possession of explosives and conspiracy to commit a felony.
