Daniel Abed Khalife: Police share CCTV of van used in prison escape Daniel Khalife was obsessed with the SAS and often went on lone survival weekends, a former Army pal has claimed. The ex-soldier told the Daily Mirror: "When we did a survival course he really excelled at it. He would disappear at the weekend with a few bits of camping gear, spending the night out in the open." The source, who trained with Khalife in Rhino Troop, 2 Squadron, 11 Signals Regiment, at Blandford Camp, Dorset, added: "He really thought that one day he would get into the SAS, using what he learned in training. That was his dream. And he was always saying he was Middle Eastern and was even trying to learn Farsi from a language learning app." Police have released CCTV footage of the food van Khalife used to escape ( Image: Met Police) Another military source said: "He was always pulling pranks and had to be the centre of attention. Which is ironic now because he appears to be Britain's most wanted man." It comes as Met Police Commander Dominic Murphy said a man fitting the terror suspect's description was seen walking away from a van he is suspected of hiding under after his escape from HMP Wandsworth. The Bidfood vehicle stopped near the south entrance to Wandsworth roundabout, about a mile from the South London jail. Mr Murphy said: "My message to him is to hand yourself in, either call us or go to a local police station and hand yourself in." Police are offering a £20,000 reward for anyone with information that leads to the arrest of the former soldier after his escape on Wednesday. Mr Murphy said: "With the reward we are offering and the amazing support we have had from the public and the media, we will be closing in on you, Daniel. You really need to come in and give yourself up." Mr Murphy added: "The sighting could be very significant, and this is one of many useful lines of inquiry officers are pursuing." The fugitive, 21, was reportedly last seen walking towards Wandsworth town centre. He is accused of trying to spy for an enemy state, understood to be Iran, and plotting a fake bomb hoax. Detectives suspect Khalife is using survival and counter-surveillance skills learned with 16 Signal Regiment, whose motto is Find A Way Or Make One, to avoid detection. He is believed to have left the prison kitchen in a cook's uniform. The Met released pictures of the outfit - including red-and- white striped trousers, a white T-shirt and brown shoes. Mr Murphy denied the force had little to go on. He said: "We're working on lots of leads, over 100 calls from the public." He said he remained open-minded on whether Khalife had fled the country but said the search is focused on London and other parts of the UK, with support from the Border Force. The Met has also opened its UK Image Appeal website. Met chief Sir Mark Rowley said the escape was clearly pre-planned and confirmed his officers are investigating whether Khalife acted alone or had help. That includes people from the outside, prisoners or corrupt guard staff. Sir Mark added: "It's extremely concerning he's back on the loose. This is a massive operation, well into three figures of officers." Helicopters searched Richmond Park, in South West London, when it was closed on Thursday night, with heat-sensing cameras. Khalife is thought to have strapped himself to the bottom of the van at 7.32am on Wednesday. Prison staff realised he was missing at 7.50am but did not tell police until 8.15am after a search. When officers stopped the delivery van at 8.37am on Upper Richmond Road in Putney, there was no sign of Khalife, just straps. Justice Secretary Alex Chalk said an independent investigation will take place into the escape.

British victory in Falklands War might spur Argentina to build nukes CIA feared

Agency worried that Argentina's political isolation following defeat could play a role in a decision to advance its nuclear program The CIA feared that British victory in the 1982 Falklands conflict would encourage Argentina's ruling military junta to step up its efforts to construct nuclear weapons, according to a newly uncovered report. Intelligence analysts at the spy agency examining the issue of nuclear proliferation wrote in a secret report that "the Falkland Islands crisis is raising security issues for Buenos Aires that could influence Argentine attitudes towards the development of nuclear technology." The report, dated 24 April 1982, said: "A humiliation in the Falklands probably would encourage the conclusion that the possession of nuclear weapons - or merely the foreign belief that Argentina had such weapons - might have made the UK more accommodating. A major reverse for Argentina in the dispute could persuade it to proceed to build nuclear weapons....

Osho on Spontaneity

Osho on Spontaneity – Divine purity reduced to practical life means spontaneity Osho – Divine purity reduced to practical life means spontaneity. The spontaneous person is innocent. He has a quality that only children have, and that is the meaning of purity, innocence. He has the quality that animals have and the trees have and which man has lost. To be spontaneous means not to act out of the past, because out of the past is all cunningness, cleverness, calculation, arithmetic. When you act in the moment and it has no reference to your past, the action has a beauty, a purity – the same as a small child’s act. Whether he laughs or cries or goes into a tantrum or becomes angry, all his acts have purity – it is uncalculated. His anger is hot and not cold. The calculated anger is cold. His anger is natural, a responsiveness. He has not brooded over it, he has not planned it. He is just in the hands of nature – hence the beauty. He is surrendered to his nature; he is not trying to cont...
