Moment police arrest terrorist carrying 10kg bomb at Leeds hospital

A “self-radicalised lone wolf terrorist” who took a bomb to the hospital where he worked intending to “kill as many nurses as possible” has been found guilty of preparing terrorist acts.

Mohammad Farooq, 28, was arrested outside St James’s Hospital in Leeds with a pressure cooker bomb designed to be twice as powerful as those used by the Boston Marathon bombers in 2013.

Sheffield Crown Court heard Farooq had immersed himself in an “extremist Islamic ideology” and went to the hospital to “seek his own martyrdom” through a “murderous terrorist attack”.
