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 the world’s
most wanted woman.
It teaches young Muslim followers her twisted
version of “loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honour, integrity
and courage”.The manuscript was stashed 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.
She is now the subject of an international manhunt in nearly 200 countries after being named in a Red
Alert by Interpol.
Kenyan security officials identified her as a major “logistician” in the Nairobi mall massacre by the Somali terror group in which at least 67 people were slaughtered including five Brits.
The British mother of four – whose first husband was 7/7 bomber Germaine Lindsay – is believed to be hiding in Tanzania or Somalia.
She is treated as a “hero” by fanatics in both countries and is feared to be planning more outrages.
The manual muses on the “success of 9/11” because “people turned to jihad” after the atrocity.
Ironically, another section headed “respect/honour” states: “Treat others with dignity and respect as others do to us.”
A senior security source said: “Samantha Lewthwaite’s influence stretched far and wide.
“Her obsession with launching war against Westerners made her an ideal recruiter for al-Shabaab.
“Investigations have shown she recruited an army of jihadists and radicalised them with her teachings. Everything is being done to identify her cell and stop them before they cause further bloodshed.”
Proclaiming “death with honour is better than life with degradation”, Lewthwaite’s student notes the benefit of identifying targets with “strong intelligence”.
Her follower writes in imperfect English: “Every group that wants to carry on in its work have got to have proper intelligence.
"The individuals didn't know. Americans didn’t expect a blow at home.
“Any work that doesn’t have strong intelligence behind it is doomed to fail – like a big building – if the foundation is not strong and you want to build on it you will bring it down.”
Under “benefits of intelligence”, the manuscript notes: “Element of surprise – you need this to get victory.
Surprising the enemy is half of the war. You surprise him in time and place, how to hit him.
“This surprise is a result of proper intelligence.
“This is one of the foundations of war, half the victory and with which you will defeat your enemy.”
A section on “loyalty”, states: “A loyal individual does the following: Truthful to Allah and his laws, puts the obligations in the correct order – the religion before himself; doesn’t manipulate the system for personal advantage and carries out tough orders without expressing personal criticism.”
During lessons at her second safe house in Shanzu, Lewthwaite told followers they would attain “glory” by murdering non-Muslims, including women and children.
The Mirror yesterday exclusively revealed excerpts from Lewthwaite’s diary where she documented her wishes to “incite” others to murder.
The Muslim convert from Aylesbury, Bucks – whose father was a British soldier – detailed how her second husband Habib Ghani brainwashed her children to become Islamic warriors.
Our pictures showed Lewthwaite, 29, with her two children by Lindsay – Abdullah, nine and daughter Ruqayyah, eight.
They were alongside her children with Ghani – five-year-old Abdur-Rahman and baby daughter Surajah.
Ghani from Hounslow, West London, was killed in a gunfight with al-Shabaab fighters who ambushed him after he tried to leave the gang.
Lewthwaite’s disciples were told that – just as she did – they will be forced to leave their family and friends behind to achieve greatness.

Under the heading “duty”, the writer notes: “You do your duty
as a soldier every time you do something that needs to be done without
being told... such a person will sacrifice personal time in pursuit of
excellence.“Fulfil obligations to the best of your ability. When you have done the job you can say I couldn’t have done any more!”
On courage, the writer states: “A courageous soldier... accepts responsibility for his mistakes and short comings and ‘speaks up for what is important’.”
He adds: “Personal courage is not lack of fear – rather it is taking the right sort of action in spite of fear.
“Physical courage – enduring physical duress and at times risking personal safety. Moral courage – standing firm for your values, principles even when threatened.”
The manual was transcribed by Omondi, also known as Zain aka Budalangi, who joined al-Shabaab after Lewthwaite met him at the Musa mosque in Mombasa.
She put him forward for special training, lecturing him at her home.
Later after travelling to Somalia she installed him as a commander.
But he was killed when a grenade exploded during a police raid in the Majengo district of Mombasa in October 2012.
A senior security source said: “Our intelligence on Samantha Lewthwaite has given us irrefutable evidence that she recruited her followers throughout mosques in Mombasa and was a known associate of Omondi.”
British terror suspect Jermaine Grant – a close associate of Lewthwaite’s – also attended the Musa mosque.
Grant, 30, from Newham, East London, is on trial in Mombasa over a terror plot blow up hotels and malls.
A security source said: “The manifesto is a book of death and destruction.
The security community is working day and night to find Lewthwaite and bring a stop to her evil empire.”
