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

A pair of victims were killed when the attacker, 35, carried out a combined vehicle and knife assault at the Heaton Park synagogue on 2 October.

North West Counter Terrorism Police reported the 30-year-old suspect was first detained on suspicion of planning, preparing, and instigating of terrorist activities.

Police clarified he was detained again at Manchester Airport on suspicion of withholding information in violation of Section 38B of the Terrorism Act 2000. He has since been released on bail with specific conditions.

Police stated they "do not believe there is any ongoing threat to the public following the event last week."

Six individuals were held in the wake of the incident, with two—a man and a woman—arrested in the hours afterwards and then freed on Sunday evening.

The following 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 acts of terrorism."

On Wednesday, authorities indicated they too were set to be released but clarified that "did not mean the probe was finished."

Also on Wednesday, authorities revealed that the attacker made a 999 call in which he swore loyalty to the group calling itself IS.

Melvin Cravitz, 66, and 53-year-old Adrian Daulby lost their lives in the violent event on Middleton Road in the area.

The victim suffered a bullet injury after armed officers arrived at the scene and shot the suspect fatally.

A officer's bullet also struck another man, a bystander, who is undergoing treatment after an operation.
