Police revealed that the woman had attended an appointment at a central London police station on Tuesday where she was arrested.

Detectives from the Met Police Counter Terrorism Command made the arrest.

She now remains in custody.

The 25-year-old had previously been arrested by the Counter Terrorism Command on September 10 of this year, on suspicion of making false representations to obtain a passport.

The arrest comes after it was revealed police and intelligence services foiled 12 plots to attack Britain since June 2013.

ISIS was named as the biggest threat to the nation's security, with warnings that assault weapons like those used in the massacres in Paris are being smuggled into the UK.

The weapons were bought on the Dark Web or from licensed owners that had either sold or had their weapons stolen.
