A individual initially detained in connection with the Manchester City Jewish house of worship attack has been re-arrested at the city's airport.

A pair of victims lost their lives when the attacker, 35, executed a combined vehicle and knife attack at the Heaton Park synagogue on 2 October.

Counter Terrorism Policing North West reported the 30-year-old suspect was originally arrested on suspicion of planning, preparing, and instigating of terrorist activities.

Authorities indicated he was re-arrested at Manchester Airport on suspected withholding information in violation of Section 38B of the 2000 Terrorism Act. He has since been released on bail with specific conditions.

Police added they "do not believe there is no continuing danger to the 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—arrested in the hours afterwards and then freed on Sunday night.

The next day, investigators stated they had been given additional time to interrogate the other four individuals, who were also held on "suspected planning, preparation, and instigation of acts of terrorism."

On midweek, police stated they too were scheduled for release but clarified that "did not mean the investigation was complete."

Also on that day, the force revealed that the suspect made a 999 call in which he swore loyalty to the group identifying as IS.

Melvin Cravitz, sixty-six, and 53-year-old Adrian Daulby died in the violent event on Middleton Road in Crumpsall.

The victim suffered a gunshot wound after armed officers arrived at the scene and fatally shot the suspect dead.

A police bullet also hit a different individual, a bystander, who is recovering in hospital after surgery.
