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

Two individuals were killed when Jihad Al-Shamie, 35, executed a combined vehicle and knife attack at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue on 2 October.

North West Counter Terrorism Police stated the 30-year-old man was originally arrested on suspected planning, preparing, and instigating of terrorist activities.

Authorities clarified he was re-arrested at the city airport on suspected withholding information in violation of Section 38B of the Terrorism Act 2000. He has since been granted bail with specific conditions.

Police stated they "are confident there is no continuing danger to the general public following the event last week."

Six people were held in the aftermath of the incident, with two—a man and a woman—taken into custody in the hours afterwards and then freed on Sunday night.

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

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, the force disclosed that the attacker placed an emergency call in which he swore loyalty to the organization calling itself Islamic State.

One victim, 66, and fifty-three-year-old Adrian Daulby died in the violent event on a local road in Crumpsall.

The victim sustained a gunshot wound after armed officers arrived at the scene and fatally shot the suspect fatally.

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