Hospital worker stopped potential terrorist attack by talking down colleague.

A hospital worker, Mohammed Farooq, was found with a viable pressure cooker bomb at St James's hospital in Leeds. A patient, Nathan Newby, talked down Farooq when he noticed he looked upset and asked him what was in his bag, to which Farooq replied, "It's just a bomb." Newby managed to keep Farooq calm and eventually convinced him to hand himself in, preventing a potential terrorist attack. Farooq denies preparing acts of terrorism but has admitted to possessing the bomb with intent to endanger life or cause serious injury to property.
