Mohammad Farooq, 29, told a patient – who talked him out of attack – he wanted to ‘kill as many nurses as possible’

A clinical support worker who took a viable pressure cooker bomb into a hospital intending to “kill as many nurses as possible” has been jailed for at least 37 years.

Mohammad Farooq, 29, of Leeds, also plotted a terrorist attack on RAF Menwith Hill, a top-secret spy base in North Yorkshire.
