Manchester synagogue attack suspect re-arrested at airport just days after being released without charge

A man who was arrested and released without charge over the recent Manchester synagogue attack has been re-arrested at the city’s airport.

The 30-year-old was detained at Manchester Airport at 12.34pm on Thursday on suspicion of failing to disclose information about an act of terrorism.


Greater Manchester Police initially arrested the unnamed suspect on October 2 on suspicion of the commission, preparation and instigation of acts of terrorism following the terror attack in Crumpsall last week.

However, Counter Terrorism Policing North West arrested the individual before releasing him on bail with conditions earlier today.

“We do not believe there is any ongoing threat to the public following the incident last week,” Greater Manchester Police said.

Two people were killed outside Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue on October 2 after Jihad Al-Shamie drove his car into pedestrians before going on a stabbing spree.

Al-Shamie, 35, who was a Syrian man who relocated to the UK as a child in 2006, was shot and killed by police after ringing 999 during his deadly rampage.

During the call, Al-Shamie pledged his allegiance to the radical terror group Islamic State.

He drove his car at Jews gathering for the holy day of Yom Kippur, before attacking others with a knife.

Al-Shamie also attempted to storm the synagogue while wearing a fake suicide belt.
