A terrorism suspect related to the Manchester synagogue attack was rearrested on Thursday for suspicion of failing to disclose information that could have stopped a terrorist attack.
Greater Manchester Police arrested the 30-year-old man at the Manchester Airport and released him on bail with conditions.
The suspect had previously been arrested last Thursday on suspicion of commission, preparation of terrorism attacks following the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation car ramming and stabbing the same day.
The man was arrested in Prestwich alongside a 61-year-old woman, and a 32-year-old man. A 46-year-old woman, 18-year-old woman and a 43-year-old man were arrested in Farnworth, but the latter two were released last Saturday.
Attacker pledged fealty to ISIS
Terrorist Jihad Al-Shamie attacked the Crumpsall on Yom Kippur, ramming the synagogue before exiting the vehicle to stab congregants. Police revealed on Wednesday that the terrorist had called emergency services mid-attack to pledge fealty to ISIS.
Garbed in a fake suicide bomb vest, Al-Shamie was shot to death by responding officers. Two congregants, Adrian Daulby and Melvin Cravitz, were killed in the attack and three others were wounded. Daulby may have been hit by police gunfire during their response.
Al-Shamie was not previously known to counter terrorism police, but was on bail for alleged rape.
The father of the Syrian-born British citizen, Faraj Al-Shamie, had praised ISIS for its operations in his home country in a 2015 Facebook post, remarking that he decided “to become an ISIS even for a day.”
The elder Al-Shamie had also glorified the October 7 Massacre, but also appeared to call for the release of hostages that were elderly, women, and children a few days later.
The terrorist's father also distanced his family from the attack, condemning it as a "heinous act, which targeted peaceful, innocent civilians.”
