Manchester Jewish House of Worship Attack Suspect Re-arrested at Airport
A man previously arrested in connection with the Manchester City Jewish house of worship violent incident has been re-arrested at the local airport.
A pair of victims were killed when Jihad Al-Shamie, 35, executed a combined vehicle and knife assault at the Heaton Park synagogue on October 2.
Counter Terrorism Policing North West stated the 30-year-old man was originally arrested on suspicion of planning, preparing, and instigating of terrorist activities.
Authorities indicated he was detained again at the city airport on suspicion of failing to disclose information contrary to Section 38B of the Terrorism Act 2000. He has since been granted bail with certain restrictions.
Law enforcement added they "are confident there is any ongoing threat to the general public following the event the previous week."
Six individuals were held in the aftermath of the incident, with two—one male and one female—arrested in the following hours and then released on Sunday evening.
The following day, detectives stated they had been granted extra time to question the other four individuals, who were also detained on "suspected planning, 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 complete."
Also on Wednesday, authorities revealed that the suspect made a 999 call in which he swore loyalty to the organization identifying as IS.
Melvin Cravitz, sixty-six, and fifty-three-year-old another victim died in the violent event on Middleton Road in the area.
The victim suffered a bullet injury after armed police officers arrived at the incident and fatally shot the attacker dead.
A police bullet also hit a different individual, a bystander, who is undergoing treatment after an operation.
