Armed officers descended on Wigan two days after the terror attack and arrested a 33-year-old man before the bomb squad arrived and removed a suspect package.
That evening they stormed the flat, believed to be where the man was liviing, in Springfield Street where extensive searches have been carried out.
The man arrested is still in police custody.
