Eight men have been charged with terrorism-related offences, the BBC has reported today.
All eight are expected to appear before Bow Street Magistrates Court tomorrow and will face charges including conspiracy to commit murder.
A ninth man who was also being held has been charged with possession of a prohibited weapon.
Reacting to the developments, Home Secretary David Blunkett said: "I have been informed by the Met Police of the charges brought today.
"I have been kept regularly updated throughout the investigations and I am pleased to see that the police have been able to benefit from the changes I introduced last year to extend the period for questioning of terrorist suspects from 7 to 14 days.
"We must now let the judicial process take its course."
Under the terms of the Terrorism Act, the police can hold suspects for a total of two weeks for questioning. The deadline whereby the nine men must be released or charged was scheduled to pass this afternoon.
