A individual initially detained in relation to the Manchester synagogue attack has been taken into custody again at the city's airport.

A pair of victims lost their lives when Jihad Al-Shamie, thirty-five, carried out a car and knife assault at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue on 2 October.

North West Counter Terrorism Police reported the 30-year-old man was originally arrested on suspected the commission, preparation and instigation of terrorist activities.

Authorities clarified he was detained again at the city airport on suspicion of withholding information in violation of Section 38B of the Terrorism Act 2000. He has since been granted bail with certain restrictions.

Police added they "do not believe there is any ongoing threat to the public following the incident the previous week."

Six people were held in the wake of the attack, with two—one male and one female—taken into custody in the hours afterwards and then released on Sunday evening.

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

On Wednesday, police indicated they too were set to be released but emphasized that "did not mean the probe was finished."

Also on that day, the force revealed that the suspect placed an emergency call in which he swore loyalty to the organization identifying as Islamic State.

One victim, sixty-six, and fifty-three-year-old Adrian Daulby lost their lives in the attack on Middleton Road in the area.

Mr Daulby sustained a gunshot wound after armed police officers arrived at the scene and shot the attacker dead.

A police bullet also hit another man, Yoni Finlay, who is recovering in hospital after surgery.
