Unconfirmed reports are circulating online that Irish-born terrorist Samantha Lewthwaite was reportedly shot and killed two weeks ago.

The report, by Moscow news agency Regnum, claims that the terrorist was gunned down by a Russian sniper in Ukraine.

Lewthwaite, dubbed the ‘White Widow’, was one of Britain’s most wanted people and was reported last month as fighting for the Islamic State terrorists in Syria.
