A man initially detained in relation to the Manchester synagogue attack has been taken into custody again at the local airport.

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

North West Counter Terrorism Police stated the 30-year-old suspect was originally arrested on suspicion of the commission, preparation and instigation of acts of terrorism.

Authorities indicated he was detained again at the city airport on suspected failing to disclose information in violation of Section 38B of the 2000 Terrorism Act. He has since been released on bail with certain restrictions.

Police stated they "do not believe there is no continuing danger to the public following the incident the previous week."

Six individuals were detained in the aftermath of the incident, with two—one male and one female—taken into custody in the hours afterwards and then freed on Sunday evening.

The following day, detectives stated they had been given additional time to question the other four individuals, who were also detained on "suspected planning, preparation, and instigation of terrorist acts."

On midweek, authorities stated they too were set to be released but emphasized that "was not an indication the probe was finished."

Also on Wednesday, the force revealed that the suspect made a 999 call in which he pledged allegiance to the group identifying as Islamic State.

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

The victim suffered a gunshot wound after armed police officers arrived at the incident and fatally shot the attacker dead.

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