Police given second week to question four Iranian men in custody

Reports suggest four detained under Terrorism Act were allegedly targeting Israeli embassy

Four Iranian men who were arrested on suspicion of preparing a terrorist attack in London can be detained and questioned in custody for another week, police said on Saturday.

Five men were arrested last week, with armed police and in at least one instance special forces soldiers sent in to detain them, with reports suggesting the alleged target was the Israeli embassy in Kensington.
