Daniel Khalife Pleads Guilty to Prison Escape Amid Ongoing Terrorism Charges
Former British soldier Daniel Khalife has pleaded guilty to escaping from Wandsworth Prison, where he evaded capture for three days. Initially maintaining his innocence, Khalife revealed during his trial that he escaped by hiding under a food delivery lorry. He justified his actions by citing fears for his safety in the prison’s vulnerable unit. Khalife is still facing three additional charges related to gathering intelligence for Iran and a bomb hoax. An audit had previously identified 81 security failings at Wandsworth, prompting necessary upgrades to the facility’s security systems.
