(BBC) A former patient talked a man out of detonating a bomb in a Leeds hospital after spotting him looking upset, a jury has heard.
[Mohammad] Farooq, 28, who is accused of planning a terror attack at St James’s Hospital, was “agitated” when Nathan Newby said he tried to “cheer him up.”
Farooq told Mr Newby he wanted revenge on the hospital and planned on setting off a pressure cooker bomb.
At Sheffield Crown Court, Farooq denies preparing acts of terrorism.
Farooq, of Roundhay, is also accused of planning a terror attack at the US base at RAF Menwith Hill, near Harrogate.
