What is recorded here
Banbridge in County Down, Ireland, is the birthplace of Samantha Lewthwaite, the British woman accused of joining Al-Shabaab and helping plan attacks that killed hundreds. That ordinary town becomes strange through her story because a young life born there crossed into violence far away.
Why this person is known: British widow, Islamist and fugitive
