(BBC) A hospital worker accused of planning terror attacks brought a bomb into work because of “anger” towards colleagues, his lawyer has told a jury.
[Mohammad] Farooq, 28, has admitted being “ready and willing” to detonate the homemade explosive at St James’s Hospital in Leeds in January.
But he denies being motivated by Islamist extremism, barrister Gul Nawaz Hussain KC told Sheffield Crown Court.
Farooq is on trial accused of preparing acts of terrorism.
The clinical support worker was arrested outside the hospital in the early hours of 20 January and found to be in possession of a viable pressure cooker bomb.
