A man arrested in connection with the Heaton Park synagogue terror attack has been released on bail.
The 49-year-old from Salford was arrested on Tuesday on suspicion of failing to disclose information regarding terrorist activity, contrary to S38B of the Terrorism Act 2000.
Greater Manchester Police said on Wednesday evening that he has been bailed, and the investigation into the attack in Manchester in October last year continues.
A crime scene at St James’ Road, Higher Broughton, has now been lifted.
The man was the eighth person to be arrested in connection with the attack.
Worshippers Melvin Cravitz and Adrian Daulby were killed when Jihad Al-Shamie, 35, a Syrian-born British citizen, drove into the gates of the Heaton Park synagogue in Crumpsall, Manchester, in October last year, and then began attacking with a knife, wearing a fake suicide belt.
Three other men were treated in hospital for serious injuries and Al-Shamie, 35, was shot dead by armed police as he carried out his attack.
It was the first fatal antisemitic terror attack in the UK since the Community Security Trust, a British charity which provides security and advice to the Jewish community in the UK, began recording incidents in 1984.
