(BBC) A student nurse accused of taking a homemade bomb to the Leeds hospital he worked at has appeared in court.
Mohammad Farooq was said to have the device outside the maternity ward of St James’s Hospital on 20 January.
Mr Farooq, 27, who was also said to have undertaken reconnaissance outside an RAF base, appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court accused of preparing a terrorist act.
He did not enter a plea and is due to appear at the Old Bailey on 3 February.
Prosecutors allege Mr Farooq, of Hetton Road, Roundhay, Leeds, was found with a pressure cooker bomb outside the ward.
