Hospital bomb suspect caught on video telling police how patient talked him down
During Mohammed Farooq’s trial in Sheffield, body-worn camera footage of his arrest on the grounds of St. James’s Hospital in Leeds was played.
A jury has viewed evidence of an NHS employee telling armed police that a patient persuaded him out of blowing up a hospital bomb. The employee was wearing a body camera at the time.
Mohammed Farooq, 28, was on trial at Sheffield Crown Court last week, and during his trial, a video showing his arrest at St. James’s Hospital in Leeds was played.
In the early hours of January 20, during a break outside the hospital, patient Nathan Newby talked Farooq out of detonating his viable bomb, which was modelled like the one used in the 2013 Boston Marathon assault, according to prosecutors presenting evidence to the jury.
At some point, the court heard, Farooq gave Mr. Newby permission to use his phone to dial 999, and shortly after, armed police showed up at the hospital.
The jury was shown the video that was captured by two police cameras on Thursday afternoon.
In the video, Farooq is seen walking towards the police as his hands are raised. The cops urge him politely to come closer, and he looks completely cooperative as they handcuff him.
One of the officers responds, “I’m not here to give you any aggro,” when he tells them there is a pistol on the next bench. Our whole purpose in being here is to…
“Clearly, something is not right in your life, or something else entirely. What’s going on, man?
“Bud, do you need to talk to someone? Is that all you require?
In response, Farooq says, “I just need time out.”
Farooq says, “There’s a bomb inside of it,” pointing to a suitcase as one of the officers asks if there is anything else the defendant needs to know in order “to keep myself and my colleagues and everything else safe.”
He explains to the cops that it is constructed using a pressure cooker and contains gunpowder.
“And how have you managed to make that then?” asks one of the officers.
Says Farooq, “Just made it, innit.”
The cop says: “Just Googling, yeah?”
Farooq clarifies that he intended to light the device in order to detonate it.
Subsequently, the defendant is asked by one of the officers, “How long have you been here? Years?”
Farooq responds, “Since roughly 12.” ever since I ran into the other man. He talked me down.”
The defendant later tells the officer there is a knife and and an axe in his Seat Ibiza car, parked nearby.
Farooq has acknowledged a number of additional charges, such as having a pressure cooker bomb “with intent to endanger life or cause serious injury to property,” but he denies planning terrorist attacks.
The defendant, according to the prosecution, had further plans to target the American installation at RAF Menwith Hill, which is located in North Yorkshire close to Harrogate.
Additionally, the jury has been informed that Farooq “had been conducting a poison pen campaign against them” due to his grievances against a number of his former coworkers at St. James’s Hospital, where he was employed.
Scotland’s Capital can profit greatly from football, but we run the danger of losing out, according to a report.
Although Scotland’s football players were unable to advance past the final stage in their attempt to create history at Euro 2024, their supporters achieved an incredible soft-power triumph that may have favourable effects for many years to come.
Not even the most powerful dignitaries, the most devoted followers, or Steve Clarke’s team of gifted and honourable footballers could match what Scotland’s renowned Tartan Army has accomplished.
A country, a large, significant one, has developed a deep affection for Scotland. Three German cities were visited by Scotland’s supporters: Munich, Cologne, and Stuttgart. All three expressed gratitude to their guests and expressed sadness when they had to depart.
Simply put, “We love you Scots” was the headline in Cologne’s best-selling daily, the Kolner Stadt-Anzeiger. The Tartan Army’s history was published by the German online news outlet Blick with the headline, “The history of the friendliest army in the world.”
Additionally, Henriette Reker, the mayor of Cologne, tweeted: “Dear Scots, it’s been a great couple of days spending time with you. As mayor, I could not be happier. Your return to Cologne is always welcome!” Top authorities close to Munich mayor Dieter Reiter concurred, saying, “Scotland’s fans have been so impressive.” We’re thinking about how to recognise this.
Best of all, the well-rested ranks of the 200,000 who travelled have delighted regular Germans just as much. So much so that two people, Max Kirchi and Vert Stabs, have started a petition asking the two football governing bodies of the countries to hold an annual friendly between them. Hundreds of people were signing the Change.org petition every hour, putting it well on its way to reaching its 25,000 signature goal as of the time of writing.
All of this occurred only a few days after a group of specialists convened in Edinburgh to talk about a study that examines how and why football may have a much greater and more significant impact on the daily lives of people in our country and its capital. A group of scholars and professionals led by Professor Grant Jarvie of the University of Edinburgh Academy of Sport think tank wrote “Edinburgh Futures, Football and the City.”

Police said that a parked Nissan Qashqai and a Vauxhall Astra had collided.
A spokeswoman said that although this damaged the car, no one was hurt in the crash.
For a brief while, the road was closed while the issue was resolved.
A Merseyside Police spokesman said; “We were called to Newlands Road, St Helens at around 7.25pm following reports of a road traffic collision.
“A Vauxhall Astra reportedly collided with a parked Nissan Qashqai, causing damage but no injury. Details were exchanged.
The three guys did not show up for their May 31, 2024, sentencing hearing at Carlisle Crown Court.
Their arrest has been warranted by the court.
The three males are from Liverpool: Darren Murphy, 37, Carl Watterson, 36, and Jonathan Scott, 35.
It is known that all three guys travel frequently through Cheshire, Merseyside, and Cumbria.
“If you have information on the immediate whereabouts of any of these individuals, please contact police by calling 999,” a Cumbria Police spokesperson stated.
“Please contact police via www.cumbria.police.uk/report-it if you have information about one of their general whereabouts or any other intelligence that could help officers.”
“Also, you can dial 101.
“To report information completely anonymously, contact independent charity CrimeStoppers on 0800 555 111.”
Not only is it awkward for people who are unfamiliar with the jargon and expectations involved, but it also makes one feel like they need be tread carefully to avoid being teased for perceived indiscretions or ascriptive qualities. It is founded on a faulty understanding of social relations and oppression, at least in its distorted and poisonous form, and as such, it offers little to an emancipatory left.
“There has long been a scientific consensus that there are more than two biological sexes,” he said, in perhaps his most startling assertion. Sex is not a spectrum, even if intersex people were to represent a distinct biological sex (which they do not, in the absence of a third gamete). The bodily integrity claims made by intersex people are frequently used as justification for transgender and gay identity claims.
The show trashed all critics, arrogantly questioning their feminist credentials—implying that the correct feminist stance, according to Böhmermann, was to support the bill without reservations. His ‘mansplaining’ of feminism to women was not however to convince dissenters but to delegitimise them in front of any bystander: no decent person could hold such views, since they were clearly coming from the far right.
The 24-year-old had played a crucial role for Gateshead last season, helping the club to secure a play-off place as well as being apart of their FA Trophy journey, which led to the club winning via penalties at Wembley Stadium last month.
But as he approaches a transfer to League One team Exeter City, currently coached by Gary Caldwell, his time at the National League team appears to be coming to an end.
How did Francis fare last season?
Since joining the National League team from Notts County last summer and their subsequent promotion to the EFL, the midfield player has been a mainstay.
Francis played in 40 league games for Gateshead the previous season, but an injury kept him from making an appearance at Wembley Stadium.
Considering his detailed stats, Francis averaged 9.2 ball recoveries, 4.2 interceptions, and an 89% throwing success rate per ninety minutes during the National League season.
Francis played for a very successful Gateshead football team, led by Rob Elliott, who averaged the greatest ball possession percentage in the division (62%), along with 500 accurate passes each game.
Gary Caldwell will be very pleased with his ball-handling skills as he attempts to assemble an Exeter City team that can play effectively in League One next year.
Journalist Pete O’Rourke claims that the two teams have now agreed on an undisclosed amount for the midfield player. A physical examination and personal conditions agreement will probably come before the transfer to the football club is officially confirmed.
