Police extend terrorist questioning

Detectives have been granted more time to question a 22-year-old woman over a suspected 
terrorist plot in the UK.

Officers from Scotland Yard’s counter-terrorism command now have until Friday to hold and question the woman, who was arrested in Hackney, east London, on Saturday.

Five men arrested last week in connection with the same plot, including British Muslim convert Richard Dart, can also be held until Thursday after Westminster magistrates granted a series of warrants of further 
detention, police said.

A seventh person held in the raids, a 30-year-old woman, was released without charge on 
Saturday.

Dart, 29, who changed his name to Salahuddin al-Britani after converting, was one of the six people arrested over the 
suspected terrorist plot last Thursday.

He is believed to have been one of three people detained in Ealing, west London, and was 
arrested in the street.
