Manchester City Jewish House of Worship Assault Individual Re-arrested at Air Terminal
A man previously arrested in relation to the Manchester Jewish house of worship attack has been taken into custody again at the city's airport.
Two individuals lost their lives when Jihad Al-Shamie, 35, executed a combined vehicle and knife attack at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue on 2 October.
North West Counter Terrorism Police stated the thirty-year-old man was originally arrested on suspicion of the commission, preparation and instigation of terrorist activities.
Police clarified he was detained again at Manchester Airport on suspicion of withholding information in violation of Section 38B of the Terrorism Act 2000. He has since been released on bail with certain restrictions.
Police stated they "do not believe there is any ongoing threat to the general public following the incident last week."
Six people were detained in the aftermath of the attack, with two—a man and a woman—arrested in the hours afterwards and then released on Sunday evening.
The next day, detectives announced they had been given additional time to interrogate the remaining four, who were also held on "suspected commission, preparation and instigation of acts of terrorism."
On midweek, authorities indicated they too were set to be released but clarified that "was not an indication the probe was complete."
Also on that day, authorities disclosed that the suspect placed an emergency call in which he pledged allegiance to the organization identifying as Islamic State.
Melvin Cravitz, 66, and fifty-three-year-old Adrian Daulby lost their lives in the violent event on a local road in Crumpsall.
The victim suffered a bullet injury after armed officers responded to the scene and shot the suspect dead.
A officer's bullet also struck a different individual, a bystander, who is undergoing treatment after an operation.
