Synagogue incident aftermath
Two Jewish individuals lost their lives in the 2 October violent incident

A man previously arrested 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 car and knife attack at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue on 2 October.

North West Counter Terrorism Police stated the 30-year-old man was first detained on suspicion of planning, preparing, and instigating of terrorist activities.

Police indicated he was re-arrested at Manchester Airport on suspected failing to disclose information in violation of Section 38B of the Terrorism Act 2000. He has since been granted bail with specific conditions.

Police added they "do not believe there is no continuing danger to the public following the incident last week."

Six individuals were detained in the wake of the incident, with a pair—a man and a woman—arrested in the following hours and then freed on Sunday evening.

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

On midweek, police indicated they too were set to be released but clarified that "was not an indication the investigation was finished."

Also on Wednesday, the force revealed that the suspect placed an emergency call in which he pledged allegiance to the organization calling itself Islamic State.

Melvin Cravitz, sixty-six, and fifty-three-year-old Adrian Daulby lost their lives in the violent event on a local road in the area.

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

A police bullet also hit a different individual, a bystander, who is recovering in hospital after an operation.
