White widow Samantha Lewthwaite has become the third wife of a fearsome warlord and mothered two more children while on the run as one of the world's most wanted terrorists.
Who could have predicted the bomber's seemingly innocent young wife from Buckinghamshire would end up having more blood on her hands than him in the ensuing two decades?
Looking at this photo of Samantha Lewthwaite enjoying a ball at her school in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, it's hard to imagine the dark journey she was about to embark on.
Law enforcement agencies across the globe continue to hunt Samantha Lewthwaite, nicknamed the White Widow, over her links to a catalogue of atrocities.
