Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Runaway prisoner, Daniel Khalife caught by the cops in Chiswick House gardens.
Mr Khalife was being held in prison ahead of trial on offences relating to terrorism and the Official Secrets Act.
He is accused of trying to pass information during his time working for the Royal Corps of Signals, which handles sensitive communications, and is accused of leaving hoax bomb devices at a military base in Stafford, West Midlands, near the army barracks where he lived.
Home Office Minister Chris Philp congratulated the police for their “rapid and effective” work to reapprehend Mr Khalife.
“Great work by the Met Police. Well done for a rapid and effective piece of work to catch this fugitive,” policing minister Mr Philp said.
Missing terror suspect Daniel Khalife has been spotted overnight in Chiswick, west London, as police say he has changed clothes.
He is now said to be wearing a black baseball cap, black t-shirt and dark-coloured clothes on his legs, as well as carrying a small bag or case.
Police say “intensive” searches are under way in Chiswick, about 4.5 miles from HMP Wandsworth, from where the former soldier escaped.
An appeal for information continues.
Armed officers and police dogs are searching areas in the west London suburb, as a Metropolitan Police boat patrols nearby on the River Thames.
Police are stopping and searching vehicles, inspecting car boots and asking local residents for their identification.
On Friday, Met officers were carrying out. In its latest update on Saturday, Scotland Yard said Chiswick became the focus after what it said were “confirmed sightings in that area overnight, including calls from members of the public”.
People in the area reported intense aerial searches involving at least one police helicopter on Friday night into early Saturday morning.
Mr Khalife has been missing for three days after breaking out of Wandsworth prison just after 07:30 BST on Wednesday.
“I would like to thank the police and partners for their comprehensive efforts over recent days. I am also grateful to staff across HMPPS (HM Prison and Probation Service) for their continued focus and professionalism,” Mr Chalk said.
“With Daniel Khalife now in custody, the legal process must be allowed to take its course. Nothing should be said or done to prejudice any future trial.
“The investigations I requested into prison security and categorisation are well in train, and I will leave no stone unturned in getting to the bottom of how this serious breach was possible.”
