A man previously arrested in relation to the Manchester City synagogue attack has been re-arrested at the city's airport.

Two individuals lost their lives when the attacker, 35, executed a combined vehicle and knife attack at the Heaton Park synagogue on October 2.

North West Counter Terrorism Police stated the 30-year-old man was originally arrested on suspected the commission, preparation and instigation of terrorist activities.

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

Police stated they "do not believe there is any ongoing threat to the general public following the event the previous week."

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

On Wednesday, police indicated they too were set to be released but emphasized that "did not mean the probe was complete."

Also on Wednesday, the force disclosed that the suspect made a 999 call in which he swore loyalty to the group identifying as IS.

One victim, sixty-six, and 53-year-old another victim lost their lives in the attack on a local road in the area.

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

A police bullet also struck a different individual, Yoni Finlay, who is recovering in hospital after surgery.
