A man has been arrested at an airport as part of the investigation into the terrorist attack at a Manchester synagogue.<\/p>\n
The 31-year-old was detained at Manchester Airport on suspicion of the commission, preparation and instigation of acts of terrorism after arriving on an inbound flight, police said.<\/p>\n
It brings the total number of people arrested in connection with the alleged attack on the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue to seven.<\/p>\n
Jihad al Shamie launched the attack at the synagogue<\/a> in Crumpsall on 2 October, driving his car at worshippers gathering on the Jewish holy day of Yom Kippur, before attacking others with a knife and trying to storm inside.<\/p>\n Armed police shot al Shamie after he ran towards officers “aggressively” while carrying a knife and what police feared was an explosive device – later identified as a fake.<\/p>\n Worshippers Melvin Cravitz, 66, and Adrian Daulby, 53, were killed in the attack<\/a>, with Mr Daulby being described as a “quiet hero” who leapt from his seat to block the doors of the synagogue as it came under attack.<\/p>\n He died from a single gunshot wound to the chest fired by an armed police officer, while father-of-three Mr Cravitz died from multiple knife wounds inflicted by al Shamie, an inquest at Manchester Coroner’s Court heard in October.<\/p>\n Three other men were treated in hospital for serious injuries. Two have since been released.<\/p>\n This breaking news story is being updated and more details will be published shortly.<\/p>\n Please refresh the page for the latest version.<\/p>\n You can receive breaking news alerts on a smartphone or tablet via the Sky News app<\/a>.
