Police investigating an alleged plot to bring down airliners have found several martyrdom videos in the course of their searches, the BBC has learned.
According to unofficial police sources, the recordings were discovered on laptop computers.
Scotland Yard has refused to comment on what officers are finding.
Police are currently questioning 23 people and are continuing to search woodland at High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire and 14 addresses.
The Metropolitan Police, which is leading the inquiry, has said it has already completed searches of 36 business and residential sites.
A total of 20 vehicles have also been searched as part of the investigation.
The alert began on 10 August after raids in London, High Wycombe and Birmingham.
A district judge has granted anti-terror officers an extra seven days to question 21 of the 23 people being held, and an extra five days to question two.
Under the 2006 Terrorism Act the maximum period someone suspected of terrorist activity can be held without charge is 28 days, subject to regular court approval.
