The Mail on Sunday
Many of the papers lead on the capture of Daniel Khalife – and The Mail on Sunday reports that Britain’s most-wanted man was apprehended after spies bugged the phones of people linked to the terror suspect.
The Sunday Times
A British parliamentary researcher has been arrested on suspicion of spying for China – The Sunday Times says it is alleged to be one of the most damaging breaches of security at Westminster involving a hostile state.
The Sunday Telegraph
An eyewitness told The Sunday Telegraph that Khalife was “laughing” as he was arrested in west London – and insisting he had done nothing wrong.
Sunday Express
The capture of the 21-year-old former soldier leads the Sunday Express – alongside a picture of the Duchess of Cambridge cheering on England during their opening Rugby World Cup match against Argentina.
The Independent
A plainclothes officer tackled Khalife off his bike and ended the 75-hour manhunt, The Independent says. Its headline: “Captured!”
Sunday Mirror
Khalife had boasted about his plans to flee Wandsworth, the Sunday Mirror reports. An inmate who was in the prison with the terror suspect claims: “It was an open secret because he was so blatant about it.”
Sunday People
“Hell on Earth” is the Sunday People’s headline as it also dedicates its front page to the Morocco earthquake.
The Observer
New NatWest chairman Rick Haythornthwaite is facing scrutiny over his former role with PetroSaudi – a firm embroiled in one of the world’s biggest financial scandals, The Observer reports.
Daily Star Sunday
And last but by no means least, Daily Star Sunday simply offers yesterday’s temperature as the headline – helpfully adding cartoon flames to illustrate how hot it really was.
