We were led to believe that he was some sort of criminal mastermind who would be thousands of miles away by now.
I would expect he had help once on the outside. It is pretty pointless being hundreds of miles away if there is no help.
Lie low, then make arrangements to get out of the country. No use sorting out stuff until you are out.
I would expect any person being held on terror charges would have all his family, close friends etc known, so it may well have been simply checking all those ie their addresses.
I would not have thought his escape was planned and sorted out by any foreign agency. Too small to risk blowing the cover of others/lines of escape etc.

To lie low would have been handy. Except he appeared to be out for a stroll in the sun and was talking to dog walkers. He doesn’t sound the brightest - hard to believe he was a spy (or at least a half way competent one).
Ronnie Barker & Richard Beckinsale did it better though.
I would put Steptoe and Son against that
Two prisoners, who broke out of the Scrubs, find themselves at the Steptoes house - however things there that night are so wretched, the couple end up breaking back into the nick

There was someone on the news a couple of days ago confidently stating that as he was a trained British soldier he would be very resourceful and therefore difficult to catch.
Not sure being captured riding a bike on a canal tow path a few miles from the prison you escaped from fits that description.
