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

A pair of victims lost their lives when the attacker, thirty-five, carried out a combined vehicle and knife assault at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue on 2 October.

Counter Terrorism Policing North West stated the thirty-year-old man was originally arrested on suspected the commission, preparation and instigation of terrorist activities.

Police indicated he was detained again at the city 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.

Police added they "do not believe there is no continuing danger to the general public following the event the previous week."

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

The following day, investigators stated they had been given additional time to interrogate the remaining four, who were also detained on "suspicion of planning, preparation, and instigation of acts of terrorism."

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

Also on that day, the force disclosed that the suspect made a 999 call in which he pledged allegiance to the group calling itself Islamic State.

Melvin Cravitz, 66, and fifty-three-year-old Adrian Daulby died in the attack on Middleton Road in the area.

The victim sustained a gunshot wound after armed police officers responded to the incident and shot the attacker fatally.

A police bullet also hit another man, a bystander, who is recovering in hospital after an operation.
