(Sky News) A clinical support worker has pleaded guilty to terrorism offences ahead of his trial for allegedly planning an attack on a maternity hospital in Leeds and an RAF station in North Yorkshire.
Mohammad Farooq, 27, from Roundhay in Leeds, is accused of taking a pressure cooker bomb to St James’s Hospital in Leeds after a failed attempt to launch a terrorist attack on RAF Menwith Hill in North Yorkshire, motivated by an interest in radical Islam.
Mr Justice Hilliard told a jury panel for a trial, which is due to open on Thursday: “This trial is about an alleged plan to target RAF Menwith Hill and then St James’s Hospital in an alleged terrorist attack.”
