World's most wanted woman Samantha Lewthwaite, dubbed the White Widow, brainwashed Islamic radicals to wage a holy war on the West in sermons from her own 'jihadi manual'.

A handwritten copy of her disturbing manifesto has been unearthed by the Daily Mirror.

The 'diary of death' was transcribed into English across five pages by a disciple who was recruited for his 'extreme potential' by Lewthwaite.

It teaches young Muslim followers her twisted version of 'loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honour, integrity and courage'.

According to the report, the manuscript was hidden among the belongings of feared bomb maker Hassan Omondi found in a safe house used by al-Shabaab terrorists in Mombasa, Kenya.

It begins with a code of conduct for the 'holy warriors' Lewthwaite indoctrinated for al-Shabaab.

The notes from her brainwashing sessions before the massacre state terrorists must launch attacks with the 'element of surprise' to 'get victory,' the report added.
