A Libyan man has been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to murder PC Yvonne Fletcher three decades ago.
PC Fletcher, 25, died after being shot while policing a demonstration outside the Libyan Embassy in London in 1984.
Scotland Yard described the arrest of the man, in his 50s, as a "significant development".
He was detained on Thursday morning in south-east England and is now in custody. He is also suspected of money laundering offences.
