Two men arrested by anti-terror police during a series of raids last week, have been released without charge.
Fourteen people were arrested in the raids, which took place at a number of addresses in London and the Jameah Islamiyah school in Mark Cross, near Crowborough, East Sussex.
The majority of them were arrested at a Chinese restaurant in the Borough area of south London.
Twelve suspects remain in police custody and are being held at the high security Paddington Green police station in London.
Police can detain three of the suspects until Wednesday, while the other nine can be held until Friday.
Scotland Yard said that the arrests were not related to the alleged plot to blow up transatlantic airliners or the July 7 London bomb attacks last year.
Searches are continuing at the Islamic school in Sussex as part of the investigation, however, no arrests have been there.
Police have warned that the search could continue for weeks.
