A man previously arrested in connection with the Manchester synagogue violent incident has been re-arrested at the local airport.

A pair of victims lost their lives when the attacker, 35, carried out a car and knife attack at the Heaton Park synagogue on 2 October.

North West Counter Terrorism Police reported the 30-year-old suspect was first detained on suspicion of the commission, preparation and instigation of terrorist activities.

Authorities indicated he was re-arrested at the city airport on suspicion of failing to disclose information in violation of Section 38B of the Terrorism Act 2000. He has since been granted bail with specific conditions.

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

Six people were held in the aftermath of the attack, with a pair—a man and a woman—arrested in the hours afterwards and then freed on Sunday night.

The following day, detectives stated they had been granted extra time to question the other four individuals, who were also held on "suspected commission, preparation and instigation of terrorist acts."

On Wednesday, police stated they too were scheduled for release but clarified that "was not an indication the investigation was finished."

Also on that day, the force disclosed that the attacker made a 999 call in which he swore loyalty to the group identifying as IS.

One victim, sixty-six, and 53-year-old Adrian Daulby died in the attack on Middleton Road in the area.

The victim suffered a bullet injury after armed officers responded to the scene and fatally shot the suspect fatally.

A police bullet also hit another man, Yoni Finlay, who is undergoing treatment after surgery.
