Two men have been arrested over a suspected terror plot to target the Jewish community in Manchester, the Metropolitan Police has said.
The arrest took place on Sunday, with both men in custody as Counter Terrorism Policing London continue their investigations.
The suspects, in their 30s, were arrested on suspicion of offences under Section 41 of the Terrorism Act 2000.
Police said the arrest relates to a suspected terror attack to target the Jewish community in the Manchester area.
The two men were arrested on Newton Street in Manchester and were taken to a London police station, where they remain in custody.
Officers then obtained warrants today to extend the detention of the two men, which means they can be held in police custody until Sunday.
Searches also took place at addresses on Epworth Street in Liverpool and Lancaster Road in Salford, which have been completed, counter terrorism police confirmed.
