Manchester Jewish House of Worship Assault Suspect Re-arrested at Air Terminal
A man initially detained in relation to the Manchester City Jewish house of worship attack has been re-arrested at the city's airport.
A pair of victims were killed when Jihad Al-Shamie, thirty-five, carried out a combined vehicle and knife assault at the Heaton Park synagogue on October 2.
Counter Terrorism Policing North West reported the thirty-year-old suspect was originally arrested on suspected the commission, preparation and instigation of acts of terrorism.
Authorities clarified he was detained again at the city airport on suspected failing to disclose information contrary to Section 38B of the 2000 Terrorism Act. He has since been granted bail with specific conditions.
Law enforcement added they "do not believe there is no continuing danger to the public following the incident the previous week."
Six people were detained in the wake of the attack, with two—one male and one female—taken into custody in the following hours and then freed on Sunday night.
The next day, detectives stated they had been given additional time to interrogate the other four individuals, who were also held on "suspected planning, preparation, and instigation of terrorist acts."
On Wednesday, police indicated they too were scheduled for release but clarified that "did not mean the probe was complete."
Also on that day, authorities disclosed that the attacker placed an emergency call in which he swore loyalty to the group calling itself IS.
One victim, 66, and 53-year-old Adrian Daulby died in the attack on Middleton Road in the area.
The victim sustained a bullet injury after armed officers arrived at the incident and shot the attacker dead.
A police bullet also hit a different individual, a bystander, who is recovering in hospital after an operation.
