LONDON, Nov. 27 (Xinhua) -- A man has been arrested at Manchester Airport as part of the investigation into the terrorist attack last month at a Manchester synagogue, local police said on Thursday.
The 31-year-old was detained on suspicion of the commission, preparation and instigation of terrorist acts after arriving at an inbound flight, said Greater Manchester Police. He remains in custody for questioning.
Following his arrest, the total number of people held over the terrorist attack at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in Crumpsall on Oct. 2 became seven.
On that day, attacker Jihad al Shamie rammed his car into worshippers gathering for the Jewish holy day of Yom Kippur before stabbing others and attempting to force his way into the synagogue. Armed officers shot him dead. Two victims were killed in the attack, with several others injured. ■
