Manchester City Jewish House of Worship Attack Suspect Re-arrested at Airport

A man initially detained in relation to the Manchester City Jewish house of worship attack has been re-arrested at the local airport.

A pair of victims lost their lives when Jihad Al-Shamie, 35, executed a combined vehicle and knife assault at the Heaton Park synagogue on 2 October.

North West Counter Terrorism Police reported the thirty-year-old suspect was originally arrested on suspected the commission, preparation and instigation of acts of terrorism.

Police indicated he was re-arrested 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 specific conditions.

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

Six individuals were held in the aftermath of the attack, with a pair—one male and one female—taken into custody in the hours afterwards and then released on Sunday night.

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

On midweek, authorities stated they too were set to be released but clarified that "did not mean the investigation was finished."

Also on that day, authorities revealed that the attacker made a 999 call in which he swore loyalty to the group calling itself Islamic State.

One victim, 66, and fifty-three-year-old another victim died in the attack on Middleton Road in the area.

Mr Daulby suffered a gunshot wound after armed officers responded to the incident and shot the attacker fatally.

A officer's bullet also hit a different individual, a bystander, who is undergoing treatment after an operation.
