A man initially detained in connection with the Manchester City Jewish house of worship attack has been taken into custody again at the city's airport.

Two individuals were killed when Jihad Al-Shamie, 35, carried out a combined vehicle and knife assault at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue on October 2.

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

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

Law enforcement stated they "do not believe there is any ongoing threat to the general public following the event the previous week."

Six people were held in the aftermath of the incident, with two—one male and one female—arrested in the hours afterwards and then released on Sunday night.

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

On Wednesday, authorities indicated they too were set to be released but clarified 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 IS.

Melvin Cravitz, sixty-six, and 53-year-old another victim lost their lives in the attack on Middleton Road in Crumpsall.

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

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