A man initially detained in connection with the Manchester synagogue attack has been re-arrested at the city's airport.

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

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

Police clarified he was detained again at Manchester Airport on suspected failing to disclose information in violation of Section 38B of the Terrorism Act 2000. He has since been released on bail with certain restrictions.

Police added they "are confident there is any ongoing threat to the general public following the event last week."

Six individuals were held in the aftermath of the attack, with two—a man and a woman—arrested in the hours afterwards and then released on Sunday night.

The next day, investigators announced they had been given additional time to interrogate the other four individuals, who were also detained on "suspected commission, preparation and instigation of acts of terrorism."

On midweek, police 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 attacker placed an emergency call in which he pledged allegiance to the organization identifying as Islamic State.

Melvin Cravitz, 66, and fifty-three-year-old Adrian Daulby lost their lives in the violent event on a local road in Crumpsall.

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

A police bullet also struck a different individual, Yoni Finlay, who is recovering in hospital after surgery.
