A man initially detained in relation to the Manchester Jewish house of worship violent incident has been re-arrested at the city's airport.

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

North West Counter Terrorism Police reported the 30-year-old suspect was originally arrested on suspected planning, preparing, and instigating of acts of terrorism.

Authorities indicated he was re-arrested 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 stated they "do not believe there is any ongoing threat to the general public following the event last week."

Six people were detained in the wake of the attack, with two—a man and a woman—arrested in the following hours and then freed on Sunday evening.

The following day, investigators announced they had been granted extra time to question the remaining four, who were also held on "suspected commission, preparation and instigation of terrorist acts."

On midweek, authorities indicated they too were scheduled for release but clarified that "was not an indication the probe was finished."

Also on that day, authorities disclosed that the suspect made a 999 call in which he pledged allegiance to the organization identifying as Islamic State.

One victim, 66, and 53-year-old Adrian Daulby lost their lives in the attack on Middleton Road in the area.

Mr Daulby sustained a gunshot wound after armed police officers responded to the incident and fatally shot the attacker fatally.

A officer's bullet also hit another man, a bystander, who is undergoing treatment after surgery.
