A man initially detained in relation to the Manchester synagogue violent incident has been re-arrested at the city's airport.

Two individuals lost their lives when Jihad Al-Shamie, thirty-five, executed a car and knife attack at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue on 2 October.

North West Counter Terrorism Police reported the thirty-year-old suspect was originally arrested on suspected the commission, preparation and instigation of acts of terrorism.

Police indicated he was detained again at Manchester Airport on suspected withholding information in violation of Section 38B of the Terrorism Act 2000. He has since been granted bail with certain restrictions.

Law enforcement added they "do not believe there is no continuing danger to the general public following the event the previous week."

Six people were held in the wake of the incident, with a pair—one male and one female—taken into custody in the following hours and then freed on Sunday evening.

The following day, detectives stated they had been given additional time to interrogate the remaining four, who were also held on "suspected commission, preparation and instigation of terrorist acts."

On midweek, police stated they too were set to be released but emphasized that "was not an indication the investigation was finished."

Also on Wednesday, the force disclosed that the suspect made a 999 call in which he swore loyalty to the organization calling itself Islamic State.

One victim, 66, and fifty-three-year-old Adrian Daulby died in the attack on Middleton Road in the area.

The victim sustained a gunshot wound after armed police officers responded to the incident and fatally shot the suspect dead.

A police bullet also struck another man, Yoni Finlay, who is undergoing treatment after an operation.
