Police have been given more time to interview three terror suspects arrested in Manchester.
The men, two aged 24 and one aged 32, were arrested on Tuesday at addresses in Cheetham Hill and Longsight.
They are being questioned about a terror suspect who absconded, breaching a control order earlier this month.
Officers have been granted a warrant of further detention to continue questioning the men in connection with suspected support of terrorism.
Control order
The BBC's Home Affairs correspondent Danny Shaw said the British-born man, in his 20s, disappeared while under an order which imposes a type of house arrest on terror suspects.
Our correspondent said the man is thought to have gone abroad and is not believed to be one of the three arrested in Manchester.
"Police have been granted more time to question three men arrested under the Terrorism Act 2000," said a Greater Manchester Police spokeswoman.
She went on: "The arrests followed an operation carried out by Greater Manchester Police's Anti Terrorist Unit in connection with an investigation concerning suspected terrorist support and facilitation.
"Officers have been granted a warrant of further detention to continue questioning the men."
