A huge manhunt is underway for a former British soldier
suspected of terrorism offences, after he carried out a daring
escape from prison on a food delivery van.
Daniel Abed Khalife, who is 21, was in custody at one of
London's biggest prisons, HMP Wandsworth, awaiting trial
accused of leaving fake bombs at a military base. He's also
accused of working for a hostile state and collecting
information useful to an enemy.
It is believed he escaped from the prison kitchen by strapping
himself to the underside of the vehicle that had been
delivering food supplies. The public are advised not to
approach him.
UK police Counter Terrorism Command confirmed that UK
border points had been put on high alert with checks at
airports and ports. The extra security led to delays at
Heathrow Airport and the port of Dover.
