A man initially detained in connection with the Manchester City Jewish house of worship violent incident has been taken into custody again at the city's airport.

A pair of victims were killed when the attacker, 35, carried out a car and knife assault at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue on 2 October.

North West Counter Terrorism Police stated the thirty-year-old man was originally arrested on suspicion of planning, preparing, and instigating of terrorist activities.

Police clarified he was re-arrested at Manchester Airport on suspected withholding information contrary to Section 38B of the Terrorism Act 2000. He has since been released on bail with certain restrictions.

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

Six people 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 evening.

The following day, investigators announced they had been given additional time to question the other four individuals, who were also held on "suspected planning, preparation, and instigation of acts of terrorism."

On Wednesday, police stated they too were set to be released but emphasized 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 identifying as IS.

One victim, 66, and 53-year-old another victim died in the violent event on a local road in Crumpsall.

Mr Daulby sustained a bullet injury after armed police officers arrived at the scene and shot the attacker fatally.

A police bullet also struck a different individual, Yoni Finlay, who is recovering in hospital after an operation.
