A man previously arrested in connection with the Manchester City synagogue violent incident has been taken into custody again at the city's airport.

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

North West Counter Terrorism Police stated the 30-year-old man was originally arrested on suspicion of the commission, preparation and instigation of terrorist activities.

Police clarified he was re-arrested at Manchester Airport on suspicion of withholding information contrary to 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 incident the previous week."

Six individuals were held in the aftermath of the incident, with a pair—one male and one female—taken into custody in the hours afterwards and then released on Sunday night.

The following day, investigators stated they had been granted extra time to question the remaining four, who were also held on "suspected commission, preparation and instigation of terrorist acts."

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

Also on that day, authorities disclosed that the suspect placed an emergency call in which he swore loyalty to the organization identifying as IS.

Melvin Cravitz, sixty-six, and fifty-three-year-old Adrian Daulby lost their lives in the violent event on Middleton Road in Crumpsall.

The victim suffered a bullet injury after armed police officers arrived at the incident and shot the suspect fatally.

A police bullet also hit a different individual, a bystander, who is undergoing treatment after surgery.
