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

A pair of victims were killed when Jihad Al-Shamie, thirty-five, executed a combined vehicle and knife attack at the Heaton Park synagogue on 2 October.

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

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

Law enforcement added they "are confident there is no continuing danger to the general public following the incident last week."

Six people were detained in the aftermath of the incident, with two—a man and a woman—taken into custody in the hours afterwards and then freed on Sunday evening.

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

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

Also on Wednesday, authorities revealed that the suspect placed an emergency call in which he pledged allegiance to the group calling itself IS.

One victim, sixty-six, and 53-year-old Adrian Daulby died in the attack on a local road in Crumpsall.

Mr Daulby sustained a bullet injury after armed police officers arrived at the scene and shot the attacker dead.

A officer's bullet also struck a different individual, Yoni Finlay, who is undergoing treatment after surgery.
