Khalife was arrested on a canal towpath in west London at 10.41am on Saturday after a four day hunt, he was spotted riding a bicycle. Khalife was in prison after being charged earlier this year with devising a fake bomb, eliciting personnel information from an MoD information system about members of the armed forces.

The 21-year-old appeared in court on the morning of 21st September via video link from HMP Belmarsh wearing a bright blue and yellow sweat shirt. He is set to return and stand trial on the 13th of November.
