A man initially detained in relation to the Manchester City Jewish house of worship attack has been taken into custody again 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.

Counter Terrorism Policing North West stated the 30-year-old suspect was first detained on suspicion of planning, preparing, and instigating of terrorist activities.

Authorities indicated he was re-arrested at Manchester Airport on suspicion of withholding information contrary to Section 38B of the 2000 Terrorism Act. He has since been released on bail with specific conditions.

Law enforcement stated they "are confident there is any ongoing threat to the public following the event the previous week."

Six individuals were held in the aftermath of the incident, with two—one male and one female—taken into custody in the following hours and then released on Sunday evening.

The next day, investigators stated they had been granted extra time to question the remaining four, who were also detained on "suspected planning, preparation, and instigation of acts of terrorism."

On midweek, police indicated they too were scheduled for release but emphasized that "did not mean the investigation was finished."

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

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

Mr Daulby sustained a bullet injury after armed police officers responded to the scene and shot the suspect dead.

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