Mohammed Farooq was found with a viable homemade bomb outside St James's Hospital in LeedsA hospital worker accused of planning terror attacks brought a bomb into work because of "anger" towards colleagues, his lawyer has told a jury.
Prosecutors have described him as a "self-radicalised lone wolf terrorist" who planned attacks on the hospital and an RAF base near Harrogate in North Yorkshire. His barrister told the jury on Tuesday that Farooq "accepts searching for bomb-making instructions" online, making a viable explosive and "at times being ready and willing to detonate that bomb at the hospital".
