A man has been arrested at Manchester Airport on suspicion of terror offences over the synagogue attack in the city earlier this year, police have said.
Adrian Daulby and Melvin Cravitz died in the attack at Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue on 2 October, and three other men were treated in hospital for serious injuries.
A 31-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of commission, preparation and instigation of acts of terrorism after arriving on an inbound flight earlier, Greater Manchester Police said.
The arrest brings the total number of people arrested in connection with the attack to seven.
Five of those have been released without charge, but a 30-year-old man arrested on 9 October on suspicion of failing to disclose information under the Terrorism Act remains on bail.
The opening of inquest proceedings last month heard Al-Shamie drove his car into a security guard outside the synagogue as people were gathering for Yom Kippur, before getting out and attacking Mr Cravitz with a knife.
