Police extend terrorist questioning
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.

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.
