More time to quiz terror suspects

Suspects are being held at Paddington Green police station

Police have been granted another week to continue questioning three terror suspects arrested during dawn raids in east London on Wednesday.

A judge granted officers a warrant to continue quizzing the men being held at Paddington Green police station.

They were arrested on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism overseas.

A 24-year-old was arrested in Walthamstow, a 25-year-old in Bethnal Green and a 23-year-old in Stepney.

All three were arrested under the Terrorism Act 2000 by counter-terrorism officers from the Metropolitan Police.

They are not believed to have any links to terror plots in the UK.
