A man arrested on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts following a police operation in east London remains in custody.

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.
