A former British soldier, who made headlines last year for his daring escape from a London prison, has been found guilty of espionage for Iran. The 23-year-old Daniel Khalife was convicted by a jury despite his claims of attempting to work as a double agent to assist British security agencies. Prosecutors dismissed his defense as a 'cynical game.'
Although Khalife was cleared of a bomb hoax charge, evidence presented during the trial revealed his clandestine activities. He reached out to an intermediary associated with Iran via Facebook, offering to serve as an undercover agent within the British Army for over 25 years.
