Manchester Synagogue Attack Individual Re-arrested at Airport
A man initially detained in relation to the Manchester City Jewish house of worship violent incident has been re-arrested at the local airport.
A pair of victims lost their lives when Jihad Al-Shamie, 35, executed a combined vehicle and knife attack at the Heaton Park synagogue on 2 October.
Counter Terrorism Policing North West stated the 30-year-old suspect was first detained on suspicion of planning, preparing, and instigating of acts of terrorism.
Police clarified he was re-arrested at Manchester Airport on suspected failing to disclose information in violation of Section 38B of the 2000 Terrorism Act. He has since been granted bail with certain restrictions.
Law enforcement stated they "do not believe there is any ongoing threat to the public following the event the previous week."
Six people were detained in the wake of the incident, with two—a man and a woman—taken into custody in the following hours and then released on Sunday evening.
The next day, investigators announced they had been granted extra time to interrogate the other four individuals, who were also held on "suspected planning, preparation, and instigation of terrorist acts."
On Wednesday, authorities indicated they too were set to be released but emphasized that "was not an indication the investigation was finished."
Also on Wednesday, authorities revealed that the suspect made a 999 call in which he pledged allegiance to the group identifying as IS.
Melvin Cravitz, sixty-six, and 53-year-old Adrian Daulby lost their lives in the attack on a local road in Crumpsall.
The victim suffered a gunshot wound after armed police officers responded to the scene and shot the suspect fatally.
A police bullet also struck a different individual, a bystander, who is undergoing treatment after surgery.
