A man initially detained in relation to the Manchester synagogue attack has been re-arrested at the local airport.

A pair of victims were killed when Jihad Al-Shamie, thirty-five, executed a combined vehicle and knife attack at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue on 2 October.

North West Counter Terrorism Police stated the thirty-year-old suspect was first detained on suspected the commission, preparation and instigation of terrorist activities.

Authorities clarified he was detained again at Manchester Airport on suspected withholding information contrary to Section 38B of the 2000 Terrorism Act. He has since been granted bail with certain restrictions.

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

Six individuals were detained in the wake of the attack, with two—a man and a woman—arrested in the hours afterwards and then freed on Sunday evening.

The following day, investigators announced they had been given additional time to question the other four individuals, who were also detained on "suspicion of commission, preparation and instigation of acts of terrorism."

On Wednesday, police stated they too were set to be released but clarified that "did not mean the investigation was finished."

Also on that day, authorities revealed that the suspect placed an emergency call in which he swore loyalty to the group calling itself IS.

One victim, sixty-six, and 53-year-old another victim died in the violent event on a local road in the area.

Mr Daulby suffered a bullet injury after armed police officers responded to the incident and fatally shot the attacker dead.

A officer's bullet also struck another man, Yoni Finlay, who is recovering in hospital after surgery.
