Wife of London 7/7 attacks suicide bomber, Samantha Lewthwaite, dubbed the White Widow, paid a convicted fraudster around 1,200 pounds for fake documents, including passports for her children.

The world's most wanted woman has been travelling in and out of South Africa, despite a huge search for her even before the Kenyan shopping mall massacre.

According to the Mirror, now it has emerged that the 29-year-old woman paid South African Ehmed Chisty for illegal documents for her and two of her children.

Chisty, who is now serving a 37-year jail term for passport fraud, helped to process more than 3,000 fraudulent IDs and passports for mostly Al-Qaeda-linked networks such as Al-Shabaab and 'soldiers of Islam,' including Lewthwaite, the report added.
