Manchester City Jewish House of Worship Attack Suspect Re-arrested at Air Terminal
A man initially detained in relation to the Manchester City synagogue attack has been re-arrested at the city's airport.
A pair of victims lost their lives when Jihad Al-Shamie, 35, executed a car and knife attack at the Heaton Park synagogue on October 2.
North West Counter Terrorism Police reported the thirty-year-old suspect was originally arrested on suspicion of the commission, preparation and instigation of acts of terrorism.
Police clarified he was re-arrested at the city airport on suspected withholding information contrary to Section 38B of the Terrorism Act 2000. He has since been granted bail with specific conditions.
Police added they "do not believe there is any ongoing threat to the public following the incident last week."
Six people were held in the aftermath of the incident, with two—one male and one female—taken into custody in the hours afterwards and then released on Sunday night.
The next day, investigators stated they had been granted extra time to question the other four individuals, who were also held on "suspicion of planning, preparation, and instigation of acts of terrorism."
On Wednesday, police stated they too were set to be released but emphasized that "was not an indication the investigation was complete."
Also on that day, the force disclosed that the attacker placed an emergency call in which he pledged allegiance to the organization identifying as IS.
Melvin Cravitz, sixty-six, and 53-year-old another victim died in the attack on Middleton Road in Crumpsall.
The victim suffered a gunshot wound after armed officers arrived at the incident and shot the suspect fatally.
A officer's bullet also struck a different individual, Yoni Finlay, who is undergoing treatment after an operation.
