A man previously arrested in connection with the Manchester Jewish house of worship attack has been taken into custody again at the city's airport.

Two individuals lost their lives when the attacker, thirty-five, carried out a combined vehicle and knife attack at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue on 2 October.

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

Authorities indicated he was detained again at the city airport on suspicion of withholding information in violation of Section 38B of the 2000 Terrorism Act. He has since been granted bail with certain restrictions.

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

Six people were held in the aftermath of the incident, with a pair—one male and one female—taken into custody in the following hours and then released on Sunday evening.

The following day, detectives announced they had been granted extra time to question the other four individuals, who were also held on "suspicion of commission, preparation and instigation of terrorist acts."

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

Also on that day, the force revealed that the suspect made a 999 call in which he pledged allegiance to the organization calling itself Islamic State.

Melvin Cravitz, sixty-six, and 53-year-old another victim lost their lives in the attack on a local road in Crumpsall.

Mr Daulby suffered a gunshot wound after armed police officers arrived at the incident and shot the suspect dead.

A police bullet also hit another man, a bystander, who is undergoing treatment after an operation.
