Three teenage women were today arrested by Scotland Yard as part of a continuing counter- terrorism investigation.
The suspects, two aged 18 and one aged 19, were held after raids by Scotland Yard's Counter-Terrorism Command in east London.
The Metropolitan Police said the arrests were made in connection with last Thursday's anti-terror arrests on Harlesden Road in north London.
"The arrests were made as part of an ongoing intelligence-led operation in connection with an address on Harlesden Road," the Met Police said.
The three women, who were arrested under the country's terrorism act, are currently in custody at a police station outside of London.
They were arrested after counter-terrorism officers from the Metropolitan Police Force carried out warrants at three addresses in east London.
Meanwhile, the 21-year-old woman shot during the counter-terror raid last week was discharged from hospital yesterday before being arrested on suspicion of the commission, preparation and instigation of terrorist acts.
A further six people were also arrested in connection with the incident, including five at or near the Willesden address and one in Kent.
Met Police Indian-origin Deputy Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu confirmed after Thursday's raid that an active terror plot had been foiled.
One of those arrested at the address was 21-year-old Yemen-origin Mohamed Amoudi.
It was revealed earlier that he had previously been quizzed by British authorities under suspicion of trying to travel to Syria to join so-called Islamic State (ISIS).
The other people taken into custody alongside Amoudi were a 20-year-old woman, a 16-year-old boy, and a man and woman both aged 28.
Another woman, aged 43, was arrested from a property in Kent.
Terror suspects can be held for a maximum of 14 days, with judicial approval.
On Saturday, Met Police were given court authorisation to detain the suspects at a south London police station until after the long Bank Holiday weekend, which ends on Tuesday.
