(BBC) A man accused of attempting to attack a hospital where he worked told a patient he was carrying a bomb and was seeking revenge, a court heard.
[Mohammad] Farooq, 28, is accused of targeting St James’s Hospital in Leeds on 20 January 2023.
Mr Farooq denies preparing acts of terrorism, but 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.
On Friday, jurors at Sheffield Crown Court began hearing video evidence from patient Nathan Newby, who noticed Mr Farooq appearing “upset and distressed” and “looking down at a bag” at the hospital’s Gledhow Wing entrance.
