A man who was arrested and released without charge over the Manchester synagogue attack has been rearrested at the city’s airport. The 30-year-old was detained at 12.34pm on Thursday on suspicion of failing to disclose information about an act of terrorism, said Greater Manchester Police.
The unnamed suspect had been arrested on 2 October on suspicion of the commission, preparation and instigation of acts of terrorism following the terror attack in Crumpsall last week.Following his rearrest on Thursday, the man has since been released on bail with conditions.It has now been revealed that last Thursday, Jihad Al-Shamie, 35, rang 999 during his deadly rampage, pledging allegiance to the so-called Islamic State terror group.
He drove his car at Jews gathering for the holy day of Yom Kippur, then attacked others with a knife and tried to storm the synagogue, wearing a fake suicide belt, before being shot dead by armed police.
