Manchester Jewish House of Worship Attack Suspect Re-arrested at Air Terminal
A man previously arrested in connection with the Manchester Jewish house of worship violent incident has been taken into custody again at the city's airport.
A pair of victims were killed when the attacker, thirty-five, executed a car and knife attack at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue on October 2.
North West Counter Terrorism Police reported the thirty-year-old suspect was originally arrested on suspicion of the commission, preparation and instigation of acts of terrorism.
Police indicated he was re-arrested at the city airport on suspicion of withholding information in violation of Section 38B of the Terrorism Act 2000. He has since been released on bail with certain restrictions.
Law enforcement added they "are confident there is no continuing danger to the general public following the event the previous week."
Six people were held in the aftermath of the attack, with two—one male and one female—taken into custody in the hours afterwards and then freed on Sunday night.
The following day, investigators stated they had been given additional time to interrogate the remaining four, who were also held on "suspected planning, preparation, and instigation of acts of terrorism."
On Wednesday, police indicated they too were scheduled for release but emphasized that "was not an indication the probe was complete."
Also on Wednesday, the force revealed that the suspect placed an emergency call in which he pledged allegiance to the organization identifying as Islamic State.
Melvin Cravitz, 66, and 53-year-old Adrian Daulby died in the violent event on a local road in Crumpsall.
The victim sustained a gunshot wound after armed officers arrived at the incident and fatally shot the suspect dead.
A officer's bullet also hit a different individual, a bystander, who is undergoing treatment after surgery.
