Does Liam ever just take seperate drum samples (seperate kicks, snares, hats, etc.) and program them into drum tracks?

Or do ALL Prodigy songs use sampled/manipulated loops from other songs or sources?

nope

Well do you know any tracks that were programmed manually? Looks like most of the Jilted/FotL stuff used sampled loops.

Invaders Must Die kinda sounds like it doesn't have a sampled break.

as far as i know, there are looped breaks, but if you know the "looped" breaks and you hear the additional snares and kicks, then you know that they have been separately programmed into it

What Flinty said; they all use sampled breaks at one point or another, but are beefed up and played around with.

I assume some breaks and beats are sampled parts of tracks, some of them are obviously completelly taken of other tunes, but some are made by Liam I think i.e. "Action Radar" drums are programmed by Liam. The drum and hi´s are sampled, but the arrangement is done by Liam.

Yeah, he slices samples, which for those that don't know, means cutting a small drum loop into its individual drum hits (kicks, snares etc), and then uses those mini samples to arrange a different pattern.
By using multiple sliced samples at once (beats from different songs that is) very new beats can be and are made

Only tune I would question might be Scienide? Sounds fairly drum machiney to me
