A man previously arrested in relation to the Manchester City Jewish house of worship violent incident has been re-arrested at the city's airport.

A pair of victims were killed when Jihad Al-Shamie, 35, executed a car and knife attack at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue on 2 October.

Counter Terrorism Policing North West stated the thirty-year-old man was originally arrested on suspicion of planning, preparing, and instigating of terrorist activities.

Authorities indicated he was detained again at the city airport on suspected withholding information contrary to Section 38B of the Terrorism Act 2000. He has since been granted bail with specific conditions.

Police stated they "are confident there is no continuing danger to the general public following the event the previous week."

Six people were detained in the wake of the incident, with two—one male and one female—arrested in the hours afterwards and then released on Sunday evening.

The next day, detectives stated they had been granted extra time to question the other four individuals, who were also held on "suspected commission, preparation and instigation of terrorist acts."

On Wednesday, police indicated they too were set to be released but clarified that "did not mean the probe was finished."

Also on that day, authorities disclosed that the suspect made a 999 call in which he swore loyalty to the group calling itself IS.

One victim, 66, and fifty-three-year-old Adrian Daulby lost their lives in the violent event on Middleton Road in Crumpsall.

Mr Daulby sustained a bullet injury after armed police officers arrived at the incident and shot the attacker dead.

A police bullet also hit a different individual, a bystander, who is undergoing treatment after an operation.
