Three women, linked to an anti-terror operation last week in which a woman was shot by police, have been arrested in east London, according to local media on Monday.
The suspects, two aged 18 and one aged 19, were held after raids by the police, and were in custody outside London on suspicion of the commission, preparation and instigation of terrorist acts, according to police.
The arrests were part of an "ongoing intelligence-led operation" in connection with a raid on Thursday in Harlesden Road, north London.
British police said earlier on Sunday that a 21-year-old woman shot by police during an anti-terror operation on Thursday in London has been arrested after being freed from hospital.
She was shot during a counter-terrorism investigation when armed officers entered an address in Harlesden Road in north London.
Meanwhile, six other people -- three men and three women - were also arrested on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of terrorist acts, police said on Sunday. Endi
