A man arrested on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts following a police operation in east London remains in custody.
The 27-year-old was detained late on Friday by detectives backed up by armed police, the Met’s Territorial Support Group and east London officers.
He was held on suspicion of commissioning, preparing or instigating a terrorist act, according to Scotland Yard.
Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Saturday authorised a warrant extending detention until Friday.
A 24-year-woman was arrested at an address in north London as part of the same operation, on suspicion of having information about acts of terrorism.
