Breaking News: Police Extend Questioning Time in Terror Case
Police in Suffolk have been granted more time to question men arrested over a suspected right-wing terror threat to an Islamic festival. The UK Ijtima event at Shrubland Hall, near Ipswich, was shut down early on Sunday after police received information about a potential threat.
Counter Terrorism Policing (CTP) confirmed on Monday that 12 individuals were arrested on suspicion of terrorism offences, conspiracy to murder, or assisting an offender. Officers have been given up to seven days to question eight of the suspects under the Terrorism Act.
Among those arrested are three men, aged 55, 60, and 82, who were held on suspicion of conspiracy to murder. They have since been released on bail. A 48-year-old woman, detained on suspicion of assisting an offender, has also been released on bail.
The investigation is ongoing, and police continue to assess the situation. Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
