A nationwide manhunt has been launched for a former soldier suspected of terror offences who escaped from prison on Wednesday morning.

 

Daniel Abed Khalife, 21, was awaiting trial at HMP Wandsworth in London after being accused of leaving fake bombs at a military base.

 

It is believed he escaped via a prison kitchen by strapping himself to the underside of a food delivery van.

 

Extra security checks at airports and ports have led to long delays.

 

A working theory is that Mr Khalife had been in the kitchen when he began his escape from HMP Wandsworth, a category B prison in south-west London, at around 07:50 BST.

 

He is 6ft 2ins tall and was last seen wearing a prison-issue chef's uniform of a white T-shirt, red and white chequered trousers and brown steel toe cap boots, police said.

 

Police believe Mr Khalife poses a "low risk" to the public but people are being urged not to approach him and to call 999 instead.

Mr Khalife, who joined the Army in 2019, has links to the Kingston area of London and to the North West, but the search has been expanded across the country.

 

As the manhunt stretches into the night, there are no signs that police have made a breakthrough - and the Met's decision to seek the public's help could suggest that any initial leads had gone cold.

 

Cdr Dominic Murphy, head of the Met's Counter Terrorism Command, confirmed all police forces and UK border points have been put on notice.

 

Airports and ports have been asked to carry out additional security measures, resulting in delays being reported across the UK, including at Heathrow Airport, Manchester Airport, and the Port of Dover.

 

Disruption at border departure points is expected to ease this evening.

 

Cdr Murphy said counter-terror officers were being deployed across London, where the search is being focussed.

But he said Mr Khalife "could be anywhere in the country at the moment and we are mindful of the risk of him potentially leaving the country".

 

The former soldier was on remand awaiting trial in relation to terrorism and Official Secrets Act offences, including preparing an act of terrorism and collecting information useful to an enemy. He was allegedly working for a hostile state.

 

In February, Westminster Magistrates' Court heardhe allegedly left fake devices at MOD Stafford, where he was based, "with the intention of inducing in another the belief the item was likely to explode or ignite".

A previous court appearance heard he "elicited" personal information about soldiers from the Ministry of Defence Joint Personnel Administration System which was "likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism" in 2021.

If his name was Smith would fake bombs constitute a 'terror offence?'

To be fair, Poor Scouser T likes his food, more likely to have been in the back of the bakery van than underneath it.

Not going to get into this TBH but even for the short time I was there the one lesson to learn is the best job is the kitchen. If you can't get that make a friend of someone that has a job in the kitchen. I was never hungry.

Saying that if it helps with constructive discussion happy to answer any questions based on my very limited experience.


How many people are tugging each other off in return for some Spice?

 

Do they have Irn-Bru in Scottish jail? 
 

Who was the top boy?
