BBCPolice have received more time to question four Iranian men about an alleged terrorist in the United Kingdom.
The men were arrested on May 3 under suspicion of preparation of a terrorist law, said the Metropolitan Police.
The suspects, arrested under the terrorism law, can be maintained until May 17 after the force obeyed the extension orders to extend its detention even more.
A fifth Iranian man, arrested under the Police Law and Criminal Evidence, was released on bail with conditions.
The five men with 29 years, a 40 -year -old, a 24 -year -old and another 46 on May 3, arrested in Swindon, West London, Stockport, Rochdale and Manchester.
With these officers they continued a search in a series of addresses in the areas of the Great Manchester, London and Swindon.
CDR Dominic Murphy, head of the MET terrorism command, said it was a “significant and highly complex research.”
He urged the public not to “speculate or share information” that the police have not confirmed the leg.
The with has previously said that he believes that “a specific premise” was the objective of the suspicious plot.
The BBC understands that the alleged objective was the Israeli embassy in London, as the Times first reported. The police have not yet confirmed that the embassy was suspected’s goal, citing operational reasons.
Three other Iranian men, 39 years old, 44 and 55, were arrested the same day in London in relation to a separate counteratism investigation.
They were arrested under section 27 of the National Security Law, which covers the crimes considered a threat to national security.
On Friday, the police said that a fourth man, 31, had arrested in northwestern London as part of the same investigation.
CDR Murphy said the police are not linking the two investigations.
Speaking in the common on Tuesday, the Minister of the Ministry of Interior, Dan Jarvis, described the two separate investigations as “some of the greatest threats and counter-terrorism actions that we have in recent times.”
