(BBC) A man accused of trying to detonate a pressure-cooker bomb outside a hospital did so because he was angry at colleagues rather than because of Islamist ideology, jurors have been told.
[Mohammad] Farooq, 28, is accused of targeting St James’s Hospital in Leeds, where he worked as a trainee, on 20 January 2023.
He denies preparing acts of terrorism, but has pleaded guilty to firearms offences and possessing an explosive substance with intent.
Sheffield Crown Court was told Mr Farooq had autistic spectrum disorder (ASD), depression and personality disorders.
