A Leeds man has been charged with terrorism offences after the city's St James's University Hospital was evacuated following a major bomb scare.
Mohammed Farooq, 27, of Roundhay, Leeds, has been charged with multiple terrorism, explosives and firearms offences after a major incident at the hospital last week. He has been remanded in custody and will make his first appearance before Westminster Magistrates' Court on Friday, January 27. Detective Chief Superintendent James Dunkerley, head of Counter Terrorism Policing North East, said: “These enquiries have confirmed our initial assessment that this was an isolated incident. We are satisfied that there is currently no evidence of an increased risk to the public, within our communities or the UK hospital estate, in connection with this investigation.
"Public vigilance is invaluable in supporting the efforts of Counter Terrorism Policing and its partners to protect our communities from harm," he said. “We’re grateful for the support we’ve received from the public during this investigation. We’d particularly like to thank the staff and patients at St James’s Hospital for their patience and cooperation throughout the disruption last Friday.”
