Here's another one, a situation that passed by the MSM main headlines and now only surfaces
as the court trial begins. Upset about something..? prepare a pressure cooker bomb and carry
an imitation handgun. They won't call it terrorism.

Leeds hospital bomb trial: Patient says he 'tried to cheer up' accused

'A former patient talked a man out of detonating a bomb in a Leeds hospital after spotting him looking
upset, a jury has heard. Mohammed Farooq, 28, who is accused of planning a terror attack at St James's
Hospital, was "agitated" when Nathan Newby said he tried to "cheer him up". Farooq told Mr Newby he
wanted revenge on the hospital and planned on setting off a pressure cooker bomb.

At Sheffield Crown Court, Farooq denies preparing acts of terrorism.

Farooq, of Roundhay, is also accused of planning a terror attack at the US base at RAF Menwith Hill, near
Harrogate. In an interview played in court, Mr Newby told police officers how he spotted the defendant as he
was walking back into St James's in the early hours of 20 January.

He said: "He just looked upset, as though he'd had some really bad news.
"I thought I'd go over and see if he's all right. I thought, if he was down, I'd try and cheer him up."

A video has been released showing the arrest of Mohammed Farooq at St James's Hospital.
The video, shown to the jury at Sheffield Crown Court last week but released on Monday, shows Farooq
telling armed police a patient had talked him out of exploding a bomb.

Mr Newby said the defendant described how he was either a student or had worked at the hospital for two
years but now "he's lost everything and just wanted to get them back for what they'd done". When he asked
Farooq what he was carrying in his bag, Farooq told him it was a bomb and that he was planning on walking
into the hospital canteen.

Mr Newby said that he tried to keep Farooq calm and get him away from the hospital entrance so he led him
to a bench where they talked for "so many hours". Mr Newby said Farooq eventually said he wanted to hand
himself in and passed him his phone to call 999. It was during the emergency call that Farooq produced a
handgun, which later turned out to be an imitation.

Prosecutors have told the jury that the pressure cooker bomb Farooq had with him was a viable device, modelled
on one used in the 2013 Boston Marathon attacks. Though Farooq denies preparing acts of terrorism, he has
admitted a number of other offences including possessing a pressure cooker bomb "with intent to endanger life
or cause serious injury to property".

The jury has also been told that Farooq had a grievance against several of his former colleagues at St James's
Hospital, and "had been conducting a poison pen campaign against them". Defence barrister Gul Nawaz Hussain
KC has told the court his client was "ready and willing" to detonate the home-made bomb at the hospital because
of a "sense of anger and grievance" towards work colleagues but was not motivated by Islamist extremism and
not radicalised.

Man guilty of attempted murder after setting fire to elderly worshippers leaving mosques

Mohammed Abbkr guilty over two separate attacks on elderly worshippers

'A man has been found guilty of two counts of attempted murder after setting fire to two elderly
worshippers who had left mosques in London and Edgbaston. Mohammed Abbkr, 29, targeted
Hashi Odowa, 82, and Mohammed Rayaz, 70, in separate attacks earlier this year. He used a
lighter and petrol in a water bottle to set fire to Mr Odowa and Mr Rayaz on February 27 and
March 20, the court heard.


Mohammed Abbkr.                                               Burnt clothing from Mohammed Rayaz after the attack.

CCTV footage of both attacks was shown to jurors during the trial. Prosecutor Nicholas de la Poer
KC told the jury that Abbkr had attended prayers at the West Ealing Islamic Centre before following
Mr Odowa from the entrance door.

Mr de la Poer added: “There followed a conversation during which the defendant insisted that Mr
Odowa knew him. Mr Odowa told the defendant that he did not. “The defendant said ‘I swear in
the name of Allah, in the name of God, you will know me’. “Having sprayed Mr Odowa with petrol,
the defendant drew out a lighter, struck the lighter, held it to Mr Odowa’s neck and ignited the petrol.”

Abbkr walked away from the scene and despite media appeals was only tracked down a day after
attacking Mr Rayaz, who was a regular worshipper at Birmingham’s Dudley Road Mosque. Mr Rayaz
was followed for more than five minutes after leaving the mosque’s prayer hall, with CCTV footage
showing Abbkr within feet of him as they passed a Caribbean food store on Dudley Road.

Abbkr was seen to take a clear plastic bottle from a rucksack, approach Mr Rayaz, placed a hand on
his shoulder and ask him if he spoke Arabic. Mr de la Poer told the jury: “The defendant then sprayed
Mr Rayaz with the petrol. Using a lighter, the defendant set fire to the petrol. Mr Rayaz was engulfed
in flame.

The court was told that, as the initial flare of the fire began to diminish, the defendant threw more petrol
from his bottle on to the flames and they “grew in size and intensity once again” Abbkr admitted being the
person responsible for setting both men alight but had denied attempted murder and administering a
destructive thing with intent to endanger life...'
