Two individuals lost their lives when Jihad Al-Shamie, 35, carried out a car and knife assault at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue on October 2.
North West Counter Terrorism Police stated the thirty-year-old man was first detained on suspected the commission, preparation and instigation of acts of terrorism.

Law enforcement stated they "do not believe there is any ongoing threat to the general public following the event the previous week."
Six people were held in the wake of the attack, with two—one male and one female—arrested in the hours afterwards and then released on Sunday night.
The following day, detectives announced they had been given additional time to question the remaining four, who were also detained on "suspicion of commission, preparation and instigation of terrorist acts."
On Wednesday, authorities stated they too were set to be released but clarified that "was not an indication the investigation was finished."
Also on that day, the force disclosed that the suspect placed an emergency call in which he swore loyalty to the organization calling itself Islamic State.
One victim, 66, and fifty-three-year-old another victim died in the attack on Middleton Road in Crumpsall.
The victim suffered a gunshot wound after armed police officers arrived at the incident and shot the suspect dead.
A officer's bullet also hit a different individual, a bystander, who is recovering in hospital after surgery.
