A man previously arrested in connection with the Manchester Jewish house of worship attack has been re-arrested at the city's airport.

A pair of victims lost their lives when the attacker, 35, carried out a combined vehicle and knife assault at the Heaton Park synagogue on October 2.

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

Authorities indicated he was re-arrested at Manchester Airport on suspicion of failing to disclose information in violation of Section 38B of the 2000 Terrorism Act. He has since been granted bail with certain restrictions.

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

Six individuals were detained in the wake of the attack, with two—one male and one female—arrested in the hours afterwards and then released on Sunday night.

The following day, detectives stated they had been given additional time to question the remaining four, who were also held on "suspected planning, preparation, and instigation of acts of terrorism."

On Wednesday, authorities stated they too were set to be released but emphasized that "did not mean the probe was finished."

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

Melvin Cravitz, sixty-six, and fifty-three-year-old Adrian Daulby died in the violent event on a local road in Crumpsall.

The victim suffered a bullet injury after armed officers responded to the incident and fatally shot the suspect dead.

A police bullet also struck another man, a bystander, who is recovering in hospital after surgery.
