Boulder attack suspect charged with federal hate crimes

  • Mohamed Sabry Soliman, a 45-year-old Egyptian immigrant living illegally in the U.S., attacked pro-Israel demonstrators with Molotov cocktails on June 1 at Boulder's Pearl Street Mall.
  • Soliman spent over a year preparing for the attack after researching Zionist events online and was prevented from acquiring a gun last November due to a failed background check.
  • He disguised himself as a gardener, used a makeshift flamethrower carrying gasoline, and shouted "Free Palestine" while throwing incendiary devices into the crowd, injuring 15 people and a dog.
  • Soliman faces 118 state charges including attempted first-degree murder and assault, plus 12 federal hate-crime counts for targeting based on perceived national origin, with a victim suffering burns to 60% of their body.
  • Federal prosecutors and a judge have allowed hate-crime charges to proceed, while investigations and court debates on Soliman's motivations continue, highlighting legal and security implications.
