A man initially detained in connection with the Manchester City synagogue attack has been re-arrested at the local airport.

Two individuals lost their lives when the attacker, 35, carried out a car and knife assault at the Heaton Park synagogue on October 2.

Counter Terrorism Policing North West reported the thirty-year-old man was first detained on suspicion of the commission, preparation and instigation of acts of terrorism.

Authorities indicated he was re-arrested at the city airport on suspected failing to disclose 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 general public following the event last week."

Six individuals were held in the aftermath of the incident, with two—a man and a woman—arrested in the following hours and then freed on Sunday night.

The next day, detectives stated they had been given additional time to question the other four individuals, who were also detained on "suspicion of planning, preparation, and instigation of terrorist acts."

On Wednesday, authorities indicated they too were scheduled for release but emphasized that "did not mean the probe was complete."

Also on Wednesday, the force revealed that the attacker made a 999 call in which he swore loyalty to the organization 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 police officers arrived at the incident and shot the attacker dead.

A officer's bullet also hit another man, a bystander, who is recovering in hospital after surgery.
