update: security alert continue at UK airports after terror suspect escapes prison

Queues continue to form at airports in the UK, as higher security checks have been put in place after terror suspect Daniel Abed Khalife, 21, escaped a London prison yesterday afternoon.

Around 4 pm local time yesterday, passengers at UK airports started reporting queues forming due to slower security checks. There was no explanation for the situation at first, then it was simply announced as a “UK-wide incident”, with no further details. “Additional temporary security measures have been put in place by UK Border Force. Understand this is UK wide”, Glasgow airport said in a statement.
