Glamour model reveals how she was groomed to be the next White Widow

A British glamour model has opened up about how she was groomed by an ISIS recruiter to become the next White Widow.

Kimberley Miners, 29, from London, claims she was groomed online by ISIS recruiter Naweed Hussain and he wanted her to follow in the footsteps of Sally Jones, a British-born terrorist and UN-designated recruiter and propagandist for the Islamic State.


Miners was arrested last year after the anti-terror police discovered correspondence between her and Hussain. Law enforcement officials let her go after they realised she was completely duped by Hussain, who targeted her when she was vulnerable.

Miners was reportedly dealing with a miscarriage and she had just split from her fiance when Hussain got in touch with her. Miners turned to social media to deal with her loneliness.

"I was upset by what was happening in Syria to the children. I wanted to do something to help," she told The Sun. "I started sharing videos of bomb attacks in the hope of showing people what was going on. I soon started receiving lots of friend requests from people in Syria. They'd message me on Facebook."

"It's embarrassing now but I liked the attention. I'd been so lonely. Now I felt I finally belonged. I craved the attention, the respect and the offers of friendship," she said.

Hussain reportedly got in touch with Miners after she had been using Facebook to highlight the plight of children caught up in the Syrian civil war, and the duo began discussing the Syrian civil war.

Law enforcement officials got wind of her online activity by the end of 2015 and she was asked to attend a terrorism prevention course. Miners also attended therapy sessions to identify possible triggers for her behavior.

All charges against her were dropped last year.

India says Dalai Lama alone can decide successor

A SENIOR Indian minister has said that only the Dalai Lama and the organisation he has established have the authority to decide his successor as the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism. The comment runs contrary to China’s long-standing position on the matter.

The Dalai Lama, who fled to India in 1959 following a failed uprising against Chinese rule, said on Wednesday that after his death he would be reincarnated as the next spiritual leader, and that only the Gaden Phodrang Trust would be able to identify his successor. He had earlier said that the next Dalai Lama would be born outside China.
