Who is Daniel Abed Khalife?

Daniel Abed Khalife, 21, is an ex-soldier and a convict who escaped from prison and a serious manhunt was immediately launched.

The ex-squaddie was based at Beacon Barracks, Staffs and was attached to the Royal Signal Corps before being discharged.

He was working on C Wing, which houses vulnerable cons like sex offenders.

Khalife was charged over a bomb hoax incident at an RAF base. Allegedly, he had collected information which would have been “useful to a terrorist”.

On Wednesday morning (September 6, 2023), reports about his escape from the HMP Wandsworth, south London jail went viral garnering a lot of concern.

Khalife was last seen wearing a white t-shirt, red and white chequered trousers, and brown steel-toe cap boots. He is of slim build, has short brown hair, and is around 6ft 2ins tall.

A police manhunt for terror suspect Daniel Khalife who escaped from prison after “sneaking out of the kitchen and clinging to a delivery van” was later launched after his disappearance was noticed and has continued for days now.

Met Police offered a reward of up to £20,000 for information concerning Khalife.

On September 9th, after almost four day of thorough search, he was recaptured by the police and sent back to jail.
