As detectives continue to question the 21-year-old former soldier, the manhunt was bought to a close yesterday after a lone police officer pulled the on-the-run fugitive off a bicycle on a canal towpath in Northolt, North West London.

The SAS - one of the world's elite special forces that specialises in hostage rescue and counter-terrorism - were also summoned from their Hereford HQ to barracks in Richmond as part of the hunt. Khalife was heard crying: "It's not me! I ain't done anything" before the smiling escapee laughed at the officers detaining him. It is claimed he winked at passers-by as police tied his hands together on the path. MI5 and MI6 combined forces for an operation with at one stage involved 'direct oversight' from the Home Secretary. It was hailed as the first high profile success for the Government's new counter-intelligence nerve centre. Now the focus falls on those who aided his escape and kept him hidden. It comes as two guards at Wandsworth Prison have been suspended according to The Mail on Sunday. Khalife - accused of trying to spy for an enemy state and plotting a fake bomb hoax - is understood to have escaped by strapping himself underneath a food delivery van.
