More time to quiz terror suspects

Version 0 of 1.

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.
