Manchester Synagogue Assault Suspect Re-arrested at Airport

A man previously arrested in relation to the Manchester Jewish house of worship violent incident has been re-arrested at the local airport.

A pair of victims lost their lives when Jihad Al-Shamie, 35, executed a combined vehicle and knife assault at the Heaton Park synagogue on October 2.

North West Counter Terrorism Police stated the 30-year-old man was originally arrested on suspected the commission, preparation and instigation of terrorist activities.

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

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

Six individuals were held in the wake of the attack, with two—a man and a woman—arrested in the following hours and then freed on Sunday night.

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

On Wednesday, police stated they too were set to be released but clarified that "did not mean the investigation was complete."

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

One victim, sixty-six, and 53-year-old Adrian Daulby died in the violent event on a local road in Crumpsall.

Mr Daulby sustained a gunshot wound after armed officers arrived at the scene and fatally shot the attacker dead.

A officer's bullet also struck another man, Yoni Finlay, who is recovering in hospital after surgery.
