A MAN has been arrested on suspicion of terrorism offences after a devastating synagogue attack which left two dead last month.
The 31-year-old arrived on an inbound flight at Manchester Airport on Thursday, Greater Manchester Police said.
He was detained on suspicion of commission, preparation and instigation of acts of terrorism after arriving on an inbound flight.
It brings the total number of people arrested in connection with Jihad Al Shamie’s attack on October 2 to seven. Worshippers Melvin Cravitz and Adrian Daulby were killed in the incident, which happened at about 9.30am.
Assistant Chief Constable Rob Potts, who holds operational responsibility for Counter Terrorism Policing North West, said: “At around midday today, officers from Counter Terrorism Policing North West arrested a 31-year-old man in connection with the appalling terrorist attack that took place at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue.
“The man was arrested at Manchester Airport after arriving on an inbound flight and has been taking into custody for questioning. The loved ones of Mr Daulby and Mr Cravitz have been updated on this development, as have those who were seriously injured in the attack.
“Our investigation is continuing, and I would once again appeal for anyone with information that they think could assist our inquiries to please come forward.”
A 30-year-old man arrested on October 9 on suspicion of failing to disclose information contrary to S38B of the Terrorism Act 2000 remains on bail.
