Manchester City Jewish House of Worship Assault Suspect Detained Again at Air Terminal
A man initially detained in relation to the Manchester City Jewish house of worship attack has been re-arrested at the city's airport.
Two individuals lost their lives when the attacker, 35, carried out a car and knife assault at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue on October 2.
North West Counter Terrorism Police reported the thirty-year-old suspect was first detained on suspected the commission, preparation and instigation of terrorist activities.
Authorities indicated he was re-arrested at Manchester Airport on suspicion of withholding information contrary to Section 38B of the 2000 Terrorism Act. He has since been granted bail with specific conditions.
Law enforcement stated they "do not believe there is any ongoing threat to the general public following the event last week."
Six people were detained in the wake of the attack, with two—a man and a woman—taken into custody in the following hours and then released on Sunday evening.
The next day, detectives stated they had been granted extra time to question the remaining four, who were also held on "suspected planning, preparation, and instigation of acts of terrorism."
On Wednesday, authorities indicated they too were set to be released but clarified that "did not mean the investigation was finished."
Also on that day, the force disclosed that the suspect made a 999 call in which he pledged allegiance to the organization calling itself IS.
One victim, sixty-six, and 53-year-old Adrian Daulby lost their lives in the attack on Middleton Road in the area.
The victim suffered a gunshot wound after armed police officers responded to the incident and shot the suspect fatally.
A officer's bullet also hit another man, a bystander, who is undergoing treatment after surgery.
