Woman arrested on suspicion of terror offences

A 25-year-old woman arrested on suspicion of terror offences linked to Syria has been released on bail.

The woman was detained yesterday in Bedfordshire by officers from Counter Terrorism Command (SO15) on suspicion of preparation of terrorist acts.

She has been bailed to return on a date in early February pending further inquiries, Scotland Yard said.

A 32-year-old man was also held in London yesterday on suspicion of attending a place used for terrorist training and remains in custody.

Police have been searching two addresses in Bedfordshire, and addresses in west London and south west London as part of their probe.

The arrests are the latest in a string of police raids on people living in Britain suspected of terror offences linked to the bloody conflict in Syria.

Counter-terrorism officers took the young woman from Bedfordshire to a central London police station, where she remains in custody, Scotland Yard said.

Searches have been taking place at two addresses in Bedfordshire as part of the investigation.

Police said the investigation is related to Syria.

The woman's arrest is the latest in a string of police raids on people living in Britain suspected of terror offences linked to the bloody conflict in Syria.

Last week, five men appeared in court accused of conspiring to shoot dead police and soldiers in London in a terror plot inspired by Islamic State - the jihadist militant group which has beheaded a number of Britons and other westerners in Syria.

The terror group, which is also known as Isis and Isil, wants to create an Islamic state across Syria and Iraq. It has been accused by human rights group Amnesty International of turning Iraq into "blood-soaked killing fields".

It is estimated that around 500 Britons have travelled to Syria to fight.
