Manchester Jewish House of Worship Assault Suspect Re-arrested at Air Terminal

A man initially detained in relation to the Manchester City synagogue violent incident has been re-arrested at the local airport.

A pair of victims were killed when Jihad Al-Shamie, 35, carried out a combined vehicle and knife assault at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue on October 2.

Counter Terrorism Policing North West stated the thirty-year-old man was first detained on suspicion of planning, preparing, and instigating of acts of terrorism.

Authorities indicated he was detained again at Manchester Airport on suspected withholding information contrary to Section 38B of the 2000 Terrorism Act. He has since been released on bail with certain restrictions.

Law enforcement added they "do not believe there is no continuing danger to the public following the event the previous week."

Six people were detained in the aftermath of the attack, with a pair—one male and one female—arrested in the hours afterwards and then released on Sunday evening.

The following day, investigators stated they had been granted extra time to interrogate the other four individuals, who were also held on "suspicion of planning, preparation, and instigation of terrorist acts."

On midweek, authorities stated they too were scheduled for release but clarified that "did not mean the probe was finished."

Also on that day, the force revealed that the suspect placed an emergency call in which he pledged allegiance to the organization calling itself Islamic State.

Melvin Cravitz, sixty-six, and 53-year-old Adrian Daulby died in the attack on Middleton Road in the area.

The victim suffered a bullet injury after armed police officers responded to the scene and shot the attacker dead.

A police bullet also struck another man, a bystander, who is undergoing treatment after surgery.
