Manchester City Synagogue Attack Individual Detained Again at Air Terminal
A man previously arrested in connection with the Manchester City Jewish house of worship violent incident has been re-arrested at the local airport.
A pair of victims lost their lives when the attacker, 35, executed a combined vehicle and knife assault at the Heaton Park synagogue on 2 October.
Counter Terrorism Policing North West reported the 30-year-old man was first detained on suspicion of planning, preparing, and instigating of terrorist activities.
Authorities indicated he was detained again at Manchester Airport on suspicion of withholding information in violation of Section 38B of the Terrorism Act 2000. He has since been granted bail with specific conditions.
Law enforcement added they "are confident there is no continuing danger to the public following the incident last week."
Six individuals were detained in the aftermath of the incident, with a pair—a man and a woman—taken into custody in the hours afterwards and then released on Sunday evening.
The following day, investigators stated they had been given additional time to question the remaining four, who were also held on "suspicion of commission, preparation and instigation of terrorist acts."
On Wednesday, police stated they too were set to be released but clarified that "was not an indication the investigation was complete."
Also on Wednesday, the force revealed that the attacker made a 999 call in which he pledged allegiance to the group identifying as IS.
One victim, sixty-six, and 53-year-old Adrian Daulby died in the violent event on a local road in Crumpsall.
Mr Daulby suffered a bullet injury after armed police officers responded to the incident and fatally shot the suspect dead.
A police bullet also hit another man, a bystander, who is recovering in hospital after an operation.
