British police have been given more time to question four people in an investigation that is possibly linked to a key suspect in the deadly attacks in Paris and Brussels.
Counterterrorism police today were given seven further days to question three men two 26-year-olds and one aged 40 and a 29-year-old woman. A 59-year-old man has been released on bail "with strict conditions."
The five people were arrested Thursday and yesterday after an investigation involving Britain, France and Belgium.
The move comes after authorities investigating the deadly March 22 attacks in Belgium detained a suspect who had ties to Birmingham.
The suspect, Mohamed Abrini, was also wanted in the November 13 Paris attacks that left 130 people dead. He is now under arrest in Belgium.
