Two women arrested in London on suspicion of terrorism offences
Two women have been arrested on suspicion of terrorism offences following a Met Police appeal.
The suspects, aged 29 and 44, came forward to a police station in south London on Monday after they recognised themselves in the appeal pictures.
They are currently being held in custody at a police station in west London on suspicion of inviting support for a proscribed organisation.
The force is continuing to appeal for help identifying a third woman.
She was seen on social media at a pro-Palestine protest in Whitehall on 14 October, with an image of a paraglider on her top, the Met said.
The force is also asking for help identifying a man seen waving a placard that said: "I fully support Hamas" during a protest on Bond Street on 21 October.
Commander Dominic Murphy, head of the Met's Counter Terrorism Command, said: "I am grateful to the public who have reported information to us and I urge anyone who has information about the man and woman we are still seeking to please let us know.
"If the people in the pictures recognise themselves, I urge them to come forward so we can speak with them."
