Manchester City Jewish House of Worship Attack Suspect Re-arrested at Air Terminal
A man initially detained in connection with the Manchester synagogue violent incident has been re-arrested at the local airport.
A pair of victims lost their lives when Jihad Al-Shamie, thirty-five, carried out a combined vehicle and knife attack at the Heaton Park synagogue on October 2.
North West Counter Terrorism Police stated the 30-year-old suspect was first detained on suspected planning, preparing, and instigating of terrorist activities.
Police clarified he was detained again 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.
Law enforcement stated they "do not believe there is any ongoing threat to the general public following the event the previous week."
Six individuals were detained in the aftermath of the incident, with a pair—one male and one female—arrested in the following hours and then released 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 "suspicion of commission, preparation and instigation of terrorist acts."
On Wednesday, authorities stated they too were scheduled for release but emphasized that "did not mean the probe was finished."
Also on that day, the force revealed that the attacker made a 999 call in which he pledged allegiance to the group calling itself Islamic State.
Melvin Cravitz, 66, and 53-year-old Adrian Daulby died in the attack on a local road in the area.
Mr Daulby suffered a gunshot wound after armed police officers responded to the scene and fatally shot the attacker fatally.
A police bullet also struck another man, a bystander, who is recovering in hospital after an operation.
