A man initially detained in connection with the Manchester City synagogue violent incident has been re-arrested at the city's airport.

Two individuals were killed when the attacker, 35, carried out a car and knife attack at the Heaton Park synagogue on October 2.

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

Police clarified he was detained again at Manchester Airport on suspicion of withholding information contrary to Section 38B of the 2000 Terrorism Act. He has since been released on bail with specific conditions.

Law enforcement stated they "do not believe there is any ongoing threat to the general public following the incident last week."

Six people were detained in the wake of the incident, with a pair—a man and a woman—taken into custody in the hours afterwards and then freed on Sunday night.

The following day, investigators announced they had been granted extra time to interrogate the other four individuals, who were also held 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, the force disclosed that the attacker made a 999 call in which he swore loyalty to the group identifying as Islamic State.

One victim, sixty-six, and 53-year-old Adrian Daulby died in the violent event on a local road in the area.

Mr Daulby suffered a gunshot wound after armed police officers arrived at the incident and shot the suspect dead.

A officer's bullet also struck a different individual, a bystander, who is recovering in hospital after an operation.
