The Met Police confirmed an alert has been put out by terror cops to police forces and law enforcement agencies across the country – including those at ports and borders.<\/p>\n

Khalife has a military background and previously served in the British Army.<\/p>\n

He is currently awaiting trial for terrorism offences.<\/p>\n

It was alleged Khalife left three canisters with wires at MOD Stafford in January this year.<\/p>\n

Westminster Magistrates' Court heard he left the device "with the intention of inducing in another the belief the item was likely to explode or ignite".<\/p>\n

The full terror charges also say 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".<\/p>\n

Khalife has links to the Kingston area with the Met Police believing he is most likely still in London.<\/p>\n

However, there are concerns he could have travelled further afield with major airports up and down the country being swooped in on.<\/p>\n

Terror cops are desperately searching for Khalife and ensuring no one passes through security without rigorous checks. <\/p>\n

Security queues at Glasgow Airport and Manchester have slowed down as officials ramp up security and vigilantly check the ID of every person planning to catch a flight.<\/p>\n

Commander Dominic Murphy, Head of the Met\u2019s Counter Terrorism Command\u00a0said: \u201cWe have a team of officers who are making extensive and urgent enquiries in order to locate and detain Khalife as quickly as possible. <\/p>\n

"However, the public can help us as well and should anyone see Khalife, or have any information as to where he might be, then please call 999 or the immediately.<\/p>\n

\u201cI also want to reassure the public that we have no information which indicates, nor any reason to believe that Khalife poses a threat to the wider public, but our advice if you do see him is not to approach him and call 999 straight away.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Prison Service spokesperson said: \u201cWe are working with the Metropolitan Police to recapture this prisoner and are urgently investigating how he escaped.\u201d<\/p>\n

If anyone sees Khalife they are advised not to approach him but to call 999 immediately, quoting reference CAD 1631\/06SEP23.<\/p>\n
