More time for terror questioning

Hassan Butt

Police have been given until next week to question former al-Qaeda recruiter Hassan Butt over terror charges.

He was arrested seven days ago at Manchester airport by officers from Greater Manchester Police's Counter Terrorism Unit.

Police said they have until next Wednesday to charge or release him with no further action taken.

Mr Butt has spoken widely of his past involvement with terrorist activity, which he says he has now renounced.
