A man previously arrested in relation to the Manchester City synagogue violent incident has been re-arrested at the local airport.

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

Counter Terrorism Policing North West stated the thirty-year-old suspect was originally arrested on suspected planning, preparing, and instigating of acts of terrorism.

Police clarified he was detained again at the city airport on suspicion of failing to disclose information contrary to Section 38B of the 2000 Terrorism Act. 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 incident last week."

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

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

On midweek, authorities stated they too were set to be released but emphasized that "was not an indication the probe was complete."

Also on Wednesday, the force disclosed that the suspect placed an emergency call in which he pledged allegiance to the group identifying as Islamic State.

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

Mr Daulby suffered a gunshot wound after armed police officers responded to the scene and shot the suspect fatally.

A police bullet also struck another man, Yoni Finlay, who is recovering in hospital after an operation.
