(BBC) A man who was stopped by a member of the public from detonating a bomb outside a hospital has been described in court as a “self-radicalised lone wolf terrorist.”
Mohammad Farooq, 28, planned to “kill as many nurses as possible” at St James’s Hospital in Leeds in January 2023, prosecutors told a jury at the start of his trial at Sheffield Crown Court on Monday.
Mr Farooq denies preparing acts of terrorism, but he has pleaded guilty to firearms offences and possessing an explosive substance with intent.
He has also pleaded guilty to having a document likely to be useful to a person preparing or committing an act of terrorism.
