Manchester Jewish House of Worship Attack Individual Detained Again at Air Terminal
A man initially detained in relation to the Manchester City synagogue attack has been re-arrested at the city's airport.
A pair of victims were killed when Jihad Al-Shamie, 35, carried out a car and knife assault at the Heaton Park synagogue on October 2.
Counter Terrorism Policing North West stated the thirty-year-old man was originally arrested on suspicion of planning, preparing, and instigating of acts of terrorism.
Authorities indicated he was re-arrested at Manchester Airport on suspected withholding information in violation of Section 38B of the 2000 Terrorism Act. He has since been granted bail with certain restrictions.
Law enforcement added they "do not believe there is any ongoing threat to the public following the event the previous week."
Six individuals were detained in the wake of the incident, with a pair—a man and a woman—arrested in the following hours and then freed on Sunday evening.
The following day, detectives stated they had been given additional time to interrogate the remaining four, who were also detained on "suspected commission, preparation and instigation of terrorist acts."
On Wednesday, authorities indicated they too were scheduled for release but emphasized that "was not an indication the investigation was complete."
Also on that day, the force disclosed that the suspect made a 999 call in which he swore loyalty to the group identifying as IS.
One victim, 66, and fifty-three-year-old Adrian Daulby died in the violent event on a local road in the area.
The victim suffered a gunshot wound after armed police officers arrived at the scene and fatally shot the suspect dead.
A officer's bullet also struck a different individual, a bystander, who is recovering in hospital after an operation.
