A individual previously arrested in relation to the Manchester City Jewish house of worship attack has been taken into custody again at the city's airport.

Two individuals lost their lives when Jihad Al-Shamie, 35, carried out a car and knife attack at the Heaton Park synagogue on 2 October.

North West Counter Terrorism Police reported the thirty-year-old suspect was first detained on suspected planning, preparing, and instigating of acts of terrorism.

Police clarified he was re-arrested at Manchester Airport on suspicion of withholding information contrary to Section 38B of the 2000 Terrorism Act. He has since been released on bail with specific conditions.

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

Six people were detained in the aftermath of the attack, with a pair—a man and a woman—taken into custody in the hours afterwards and then released on Sunday evening.

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

On Wednesday, authorities stated they too were scheduled for release but emphasized that "was not an indication the probe was finished."

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

One victim, sixty-six, and fifty-three-year-old Adrian Daulby lost their lives in the attack on Middleton Road in Crumpsall.

Mr Daulby suffered a gunshot wound after armed police officers arrived at the scene and fatally shot the suspect dead.

A officer's bullet also struck another man, a bystander, who is recovering in hospital after an operation.
