Speaking to GB News, Commander Dominic Murphy, leader of the Met Police’s Counter Terrorism Command who are leading the re-capture operation outlined the next steps the force will take.
“We will of course be focusing on multiple reports from the public,” Commander Murphy said.
“I'm pleased to say we've had over 100 reports from the public as a result of the appeal and we continue to work on and respond to all of those calls as they come to us.
“That is taking us to different parts of the UK but of course we will follow all of those leads until we find Daniel Khalife.”

Khalife was declared missing on the morning of 6 September and the police were notified within 30 minutes.
Officers were able to discover which van he had used to escape and were able to stop and search the vehicle but found only straps on the underside of the van.
Khalife is understood to have disguised himself in a chef’s uniform prior to his escape.
The Met previously released a picture of dark-haired Khalife, describing him as slim build and around 6ft 2in tall.
