Police in Bristol have been granted a further seven days to question a 19-year-old man arrested under the Terrorism Act.
The extension comes after Avon and Somerset police conducted a controlled explosion early Friday in a cul-de-sac in the Westbury-on-Trym area.
Bomb disposal units returned to the area late Friday.
The suspect was named as Andrew Ibrahim, a British Muslim convert who moved into the area three weeks ago.
The controlled blast was carried out after a raid on the suspect's home in the immediate area.
The materials blown up are to be analysed as part of what police described as a "long and complex" investigation, sparked by an intelligence tip-off.
Residents were evacuated and some were expected to be kept out of their homes until at least Saturday.
