Anti-terror police have been granted five more days to question four men suspected of plotting a potentially "significant" attack on the UK.
The men - all aged 20 or 21 - were detained by officers from the Metropolitan Police's Counter Terrorism Command at addresses across London as part of an investigation into Islamist terror activities.
Officers believe the raids disrupted what could have been a "significant plot", according to a Whitehall source quoted by the Press Association.
Among the alleged extremists being questioned is medical student Tarik Hassane, 21, who lives near Ladbroke Grove in west London.
He was Tasered during his arrest but did not require medical treatment.
At least one of the suspects is believed to have travelled to Syria and one line of inquiry is to establish any possible links with Islamic State (IS).
Sky News correspondent Mark White explained: "The information that we're getting from sources suggests that this was an early disruption of what might have been a significant plot had it been allowed to come to fruition.
"There has been a change in recent months in the way that the authorities will approach these plots... the authorities no longer have the luxury of following a terror group that might be buying the ingredients for an explosive device and conspiring among themselves for many months.
"These plots can spring up so quickly that the police have to intervene at a very early stage and that might mean that, at the end of the day, they don't get enough evidence that they can put before the court.
"But that's the trade off - disrupting plots and safeguarding the public at the expense, perhaps, of a trial further down the line."
Commenting on the arrests, Metropolitan Police commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe said: "It is one of a series of arrests that we have had over the last few weeks which, taken together, for me confirm that the drumbeat around terrorism has changed.
"It's a more intense drumbeat - we are having to be more interventionist and a lot of it is linked back to Syria and Iraq."
