A man initially detained in connection with the Manchester City synagogue violent incident has been taken into custody again at the local airport.

A pair of victims lost their lives 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 30-year-old man was first detained on suspicion of the commission, preparation and instigation of terrorist activities.

Police clarified he was detained again at Manchester Airport on suspicion of failing to disclose 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 detained in the wake of the attack, with a pair—one male and one female—arrested in the hours afterwards and then released on Sunday evening.

The next day, investigators announced they had been given additional time to question the remaining four, who were also held on "suspicion of commission, preparation and instigation of terrorist acts."

On midweek, authorities indicated they too were set to be released but clarified that "was not an indication the investigation was finished."

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

Melvin Cravitz, 66, and fifty-three-year-old another victim lost their lives in the violent event on Middleton Road in Crumpsall.

Mr Daulby sustained a gunshot wound after armed officers arrived at the scene and shot the attacker dead.

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