Manchester Jewish House of Worship Assault Individual Re-arrested at Air Terminal
A individual initially detained in relation to the Manchester synagogue attack has been taken into custody again at the city's airport.
Two individuals were killed when the attacker, 35, executed a car and knife assault at the Heaton Park 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 re-arrested at Manchester Airport on suspicion of withholding information contrary to Section 38B of the Terrorism Act 2000. He has since been released on bail with certain restrictions.
Police added they "do not believe there is any ongoing threat to the public following the event last week."
Six individuals were detained in the aftermath of the attack, with a pair—a man and a woman—taken into custody in the following hours 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 terrorist acts."
On midweek, authorities stated they too were set to be released but clarified that "did not mean the probe was complete."
Also on that day, authorities revealed that the suspect made a 999 call in which he swore loyalty to the group calling itself IS.
Melvin Cravitz, sixty-six, and fifty-three-year-old another victim died in the attack on Middleton Road in the area.
The victim sustained a gunshot wound after armed police officers responded to the incident and shot the suspect fatally.
A officer's bullet also hit another man, Yoni Finlay, who is recovering in hospital after surgery.
