A health worker has been found guilty of plotting a terrorist attack on his hospital.
Mohammad Farooq, 28, was found with a pressure cooker which he had adapted as a bomb when he was arrested outside St James’s Hospital in Leeds, in the early hours of 20 January.
The clinical support worker planned to detonate the explosive and then attack survivors with knives, Sheffield Crown Court heard.
He only failed because a patient saw him acting suspiciously and managed to "talk him down".
Before targeting the hospital, Farooq had planned to attack RAF Menwith Hill, in North Yorkshire
Farooq will be sentenced at a later date.

What do we think? ten years out in five?..
