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

A pair of victims were killed when Jihad Al-Shamie, thirty-five, carried out a car and knife attack at the Heaton Park synagogue on October 2.

North West Counter Terrorism Police reported the thirty-year-old suspect was originally arrested on suspicion of planning, preparing, and instigating of acts of terrorism.

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

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

Six individuals were detained in the aftermath of the attack, with two—one male and one female—arrested in the following hours and then released on Sunday night.

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

On Wednesday, police indicated they too were scheduled for release but clarified that "did not mean the probe was complete."

Also on that day, authorities revealed that the attacker placed an emergency call in which he swore loyalty to the group calling itself Islamic State.

Melvin Cravitz, sixty-six, and 53-year-old another victim lost their lives in the attack on Middleton Road in the area.

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

A police bullet also hit a different individual, Yoni Finlay, who is undergoing treatment after an operation.
