A man previously arrested in relation to the Manchester Jewish house of worship attack has been re-arrested at the city's airport.

A pair of victims lost their lives when the attacker, 35, carried out a car and knife assault at the Heaton Park synagogue on 2 October.

North West Counter Terrorism Police reported the 30-year-old suspect was first detained on suspicion of planning, preparing, and instigating of acts of terrorism.

Police indicated he was detained again at the city airport on suspected failing to disclose information contrary to Section 38B of the 2000 Terrorism Act. He has since been released on bail with certain restrictions.

Law enforcement added they "do not believe there is no continuing danger to the general public following the incident the previous week."

Six individuals were detained in the wake of the attack, with a pair—a man and a woman—arrested in the following hours and then released on Sunday night.

The next day, detectives stated they had been given additional time to interrogate the other four individuals, who were also detained on "suspicion of planning, preparation, and instigation of terrorist acts."

On midweek, police stated they too were set to be released but emphasized that "was not an indication the investigation was complete."

Also on that day, authorities revealed that the attacker made a 999 call in which he swore loyalty to the organization identifying as IS.

Melvin Cravitz, sixty-six, and fifty-three-year-old another victim lost their lives in the attack on Middleton Road in the area.

Mr Daulby sustained a bullet injury after armed officers responded to the incident and shot the attacker fatally.

A officer's bullet also hit a different individual, a bystander, who is undergoing treatment after surgery.
