    Daniel Khalife has pleaded not guilty to breaking out of prison.

    The former soldier appeared at the Old Bailey via video link on Thursday morning, where he gave his plea denying allegations he escaped custody at HMP Wandsworth. Khalife had been held in jail on remand after being charged with terror offences earlier this year.

    He was arrested again on a canal towpath in west London at 10.41am on September 10, four days after police were notified of his disappearance on September 6.

    Speaking from HMP Belmarsh, the 21-year-old was wearing a blue and yellow sweatshirt, said: "I am not guilty."

    He had been in Wandsworth Prison 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.

    He denied those charges at a previous hearing at the Old Bailey in July.

    Mr Justice Jeremy Baker joined the charges and Khalife will be tried at Woolwich Crown Court on November 13 for all four offences.
