A man initially detained in connection with the Manchester Jewish house of worship attack has been taken into custody again at the local airport.

A pair of victims were killed when Jihad Al-Shamie, 35, carried out a combined vehicle and knife attack at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue on October 2.

North West Counter Terrorism Police reported the thirty-year-old man was first detained on suspected planning, preparing, and instigating of acts of terrorism.

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

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

Six individuals were detained in the wake of the incident, with two—one male and one female—taken into custody in the following hours and then released on Sunday night.

The following day, detectives announced they had been granted extra time to interrogate the other four individuals, who were also detained on "suspected planning, preparation, and instigation of acts of terrorism."

On Wednesday, authorities indicated they too were scheduled for release but clarified that "was not an indication the investigation was complete."

Also on that day, the force disclosed that the attacker placed an emergency call in which he pledged allegiance to the organization identifying as IS.

One victim, 66, and 53-year-old another victim lost their lives in the violent event on Middleton Road in Crumpsall.

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

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