• Teen In Court Over Newcastle College Bomb Plot

A teenager has appeared in court over an alleged bomb plot at a college in Newcastle.

Liam Lyburd was at North Tyneside Magistrates' Court charged with possessing a firearm with intent to endanger life, possessing ammunition with intent to endanger life, and five counts of possessing an explosive substance, namely a pipe bomb, with intent to endanger life.
The 18-year-old wore a grey, crew-neck sweater and spoke only to confirm his address and date of birth.
No pleas were entered and Lyburd, from Hamilton Place in the city's west end, was remanded in custody to appear before Newcastle Crown Court on November 20.

The estate where he lives, near Newcastle United's St James' Park football stadium, was cordoned off and 50 homes were evacuated while police carried out searches on Monday night.

Police later said serious harm was intended to be caused at Newcastle College.
The college's former pupils include TV presenters Ant and Dec, comedian Ross Noble and Perrie Edwards from Little Mix.
