British police said on Friday they had thwarted an active terrorism plot after a woman was shot during an armed raid on a house in north London. Armed counter-terrorism officers using CS gas stormed a house in the Willesden area of the capital on Thursday evening which had been under surveillance, shooting a woman in her 20s. "The armed entry was necessary due to the nature of the intelligence we were dealing with and involved armed officers firing CS gas into the address," Basu said. Asked if police had foiled an active plot, he replied: "Yes". "Due to these arrests that we have made, I believe that we have contained the threats that they posed," he said.
