The on-the-run former soldier was spotted near the south entrance to Wandsworth Roundabout shortly after his escape.
A reported sighting of on-the-run terror suspect Daniel Khalife “could be very significant”, the Metropolitan Police’s counter-terrorism commander has said.
Commander Dominic Murphy said the force is investigating after a member of the public saw a man fitting Khalife’s description walking away from a Bidfood van that had stopped near the south entrance to Wandsworth Roundabout shortly after his escape.Mr Murphy said: “This remains a fast-paced and dynamic investigation, but I want the public to know that a large number of officers are working extremely hard to locate Khalife.
Khalife, an ex-soldier who was awaiting trial after allegedly planting a fake bomb at an RAF base and gathering information that might be useful to terrorists or enemies of the UK, was discharged from the Army in May.
