A individual initially detained in connection with the Manchester Jewish house of worship violent incident has been taken into custody again at the local airport.

Two individuals lost their lives when the attacker, 35, carried out a car and knife attack at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue on 2 October.

Counter Terrorism Policing North West stated the 30-year-old suspect was first detained on suspicion of the commission, preparation and instigation of acts of terrorism.

Authorities indicated he was detained again at Manchester Airport on suspicion of failing to disclose information contrary to Section 38B of the 2000 Terrorism Act. He has since been released on bail with specific conditions.

Law enforcement added they "are confident there is any ongoing threat to the general public following the incident the previous week."

Six people were detained in the aftermath of the incident, with two—a man and a woman—taken into custody in the hours afterwards and then released on Sunday evening.

The following day, detectives announced 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, authorities stated they too were set to be released but clarified that "was not an indication the investigation was complete."

Also on that day, the force disclosed that the attacker placed an emergency call in which he pledged allegiance to the group identifying as IS.

One victim, sixty-six, and 53-year-old another victim died in the attack on Middleton Road in the area.

Mr Daulby suffered a gunshot wound 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 recovering in hospital after surgery.
