UK: Muslim soldier Daniel Khalife who spied for Iran pleads guilty to prison escape

A soldier accused of spying for Iran has pleaded guilty to escaping from prison under a food catering truck and going on the run for four days while he was awaiting trial.

Daniel Khalife, 23, from Kingston, southwest London, changed his plea to the prison escape charge, halfway through giving evidence at Woolwich crown court.

He faces cross-examination on the spying charges in Monday’s hearing.
