Prison escape of Daniel Khalife

On 6 September 2023, former British Army soldier Daniel Abed Khalife, who was on remand awaiting trial on terrorism charges, escaped from HM Prison Wandsworth in London. The escape triggered a nationwide police search and delays at major transport hubs. Khalife is believed to have escaped by strapping himself to the bottom of a food delivery lorry while working in the prison's kitchen. After three days on the run, he was captured by the Metropolitan Police in Northolt, London.
