Mohammed Farooq brought an IED to St James's Hospital in Leeds to kill colleagues, a jury hears.
A patient "saved many lives" by talking down a hospital worker who planned to "kill as many nurses as possible" with a homemade bomb, a court has heard.
Opening the prosecution's case on Monday, Jonathan Sandiford KC said Mr Farooq was a "self-radicalised, lone wolf terrorist" who had also planned to attack RAF Menwith Hill near Harrogate in North Yorkshire. But in "a piece of good fortune" the text message he sent to an off-duty nurse was not seen for almost an hour and a full-scale evacuation did not happen, Mr Sandiford said.Mr Farooq left the hospital but returned soon after with a new plan to wait in a Costa cafe for a staff shift change before detonating his device.
Mr Farooq told Mr Newby about his plan to take the bomb into the hospital and "kill as many nurses as possible," the court heard. The defendant then handed his phone to the patient to call the police. He also had a blank-firing imitation firearm which he had planned to use to incite police to shoot him dead, the prosecutor said.
He also obtained viable instructions for the preparation of five deadly toxins or nerve agents, the jury was told.
