A individual initially detained in connection with the Manchester Jewish house of worship attack has been taken into custody again at the local airport.

A pair of victims were killed when the attacker, 35, executed a combined vehicle and knife attack at the Heaton Park synagogue on 2 October.

North West Counter Terrorism Police stated the 30-year-old suspect was first detained on suspicion of the commission, preparation and instigation of terrorist activities.

Police clarified he was re-arrested at the city airport on suspicion of withholding information in violation of Section 38B of the Terrorism Act 2000. He has since been released on bail with specific conditions.

Law enforcement stated they "do not believe there is no continuing danger to the public following the incident last week."

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

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

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

Also on that day, the force disclosed that the attacker made a 999 call in which he swore loyalty to the organization identifying as IS.

One victim, 66, and 53-year-old another victim lost their lives in the attack on Middleton Road in the area.

The victim sustained a gunshot wound after armed officers arrived at the incident and fatally shot the suspect dead.

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