Hunt For Terror Suspect After Wandsworth Prison  Escape

More details to come as the escapee is said to still be within London.

A manhunt has been launched after a terror suspect escaped from HMP Wandsworth on Wednesday morning.

Daniel Abed Khalife, 21, was awaiting trial after being accused of leaving fake bombs at a military base while serving as a soldier.

He is 6ft 2ins and was last seen wearing a white T-shirt, red, white chequered trousers and brown steel toe cap boots, police said.

He has links to Kingston and is “most likely” still in the London area.

Khalife was on remand awaiting trial in relation to terrorism and Official Secrets Act offences.

In February, Westminster Magistrates’ Court heard he allegedly left fake devices at MOD Stafford “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.
