A failed bomber who tried to blow up a restaurant 10 years ago felt "justified" in assaulting hospital staff, an inquest has heard.
Nicky Reilly, 30, converted to Islam and changed his name to Mohammed Saeed Alim, before his 2008 bombing attempt.
He launched an attack on staff at Broadmoor psychiatric hospital in 2015 after feeling "anger" about a ban on communal prayers, the inquest was told.
Reilly was then moved to HMP Manchester and found dead in his cell in 2016.
Jurors in Heywood, Greater Manchester, are considering the circumstances surrounding his death.
Reilly was jailed for life with a minimum of 18 years in January 2009 after the botched attempt to set off a homemade bomb in the Giraffe restaurant.
On Monday, Reilly's mother Kim told the court she thought her son was an "easy target" for radicalisation.
The hearing continues.
