Manchester Jewish House of Worship Assault Suspect Detained Again at Airport
A individual previously arrested in connection with the Manchester Jewish house of worship attack has been taken into custody again at the city's airport.
Two individuals lost their lives when Jihad Al-Shamie, 35, carried out a combined vehicle and knife assault at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue on 2 October.
Counter Terrorism Policing North West reported the thirty-year-old suspect was first detained on suspicion of the commission, preparation and instigation of terrorist activities.
Authorities indicated he was detained again at the city airport on suspicion of withholding information in violation of Section 38B of the 2000 Terrorism Act. He has since been released on bail with certain restrictions.
Police added they "are confident there is any ongoing threat to the general public following the event last week."
Six people were detained in the wake of the incident, with two—one male and one female—taken into custody in the following hours and then released on Sunday night.
The next day, investigators stated they had been granted extra time to interrogate the other four individuals, who were also detained on "suspected commission, preparation and instigation of terrorist acts."
On midweek, police indicated they too were set to be released but emphasized that "was not an indication the investigation was finished."
Also on Wednesday, the force revealed that the attacker placed an emergency call in which he pledged allegiance to the organization calling itself Islamic State.
Melvin Cravitz, 66, and fifty-three-year-old Adrian Daulby died in the attack on Middleton Road in Crumpsall.
Mr Daulby suffered a gunshot wound after armed officers responded to the incident and fatally shot the attacker dead.
A officer's bullet also hit a different individual, a bystander, who is undergoing treatment after an operation.
