A individual initially detained in connection with the Manchester Jewish house of worship attack has been taken into custody again at the city's airport.

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

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

Police indicated he was re-arrested at the city airport on suspected withholding information in violation of Section 38B of the 2000 Terrorism Act. He has since been released on bail with specific conditions.

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

Six people were held in the aftermath of the incident, with two—one male and one female—arrested in the hours afterwards and then freed on Sunday evening.

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

On Wednesday, authorities indicated they too were set to be released but clarified that "was not an indication the investigation was complete."

Also on Wednesday, the force disclosed that the attacker made a 999 call in which he swore loyalty to the organization identifying as Islamic State.

One victim, 66, and fifty-three-year-old Adrian Daulby died in the attack on Middleton Road in the area.

Mr Daulby suffered a bullet injury after armed police officers arrived at the incident and fatally shot the attacker dead.

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