Colorado Terror Suspect Charged With 12 Federal Hate Crimes

The DOJ announced that Colorado terror suspect Mohamed Sabry Soliman, an illegal alien, faces 12 hate crime counts.

It includes nine counts of violating 18 U.S.C. § 249 and three counts of violating 18 U.S.C. § 844(h).

The charges stem from an attack on the pro-Israel group “Run for Their Lives” in Boulder, CO. The group gathers every week to hold vigils for hostages held by Hamas in Gaza:

According to the indictment, on June 1, Soliman entered the park carrying both a backpack weed sprayer that contained a flammable liquid and a black plastic container that held at least 18 glass bottles and jars, all of which contained a flammable liquid and several of which had red rags stuffed through the top to act as wicks (commonly referred to as Molotov cocktails).At approximately 1:30 p.m., Soliman approached the Run for Their Lives group and threw two Molotov cocktails that he had ignited. When throwing one of the Molotov cocktails, he shouted, “Free Palestine!”A handwritten document was later recovered from the vehicle driven by Soliman. The document included the following statements: “Zionism is our enemies untill [sic] Jerusalem is liberated and they are expelled from our land,” and further described Israel as a “cancer entity.”

Soliman faces 118 criminal charges at the state level. Those charges “include 28 counts of attempted murder, two counts of use of an explosive/incendiary device, 16 counts of attempted use of an explosive/incendiary device and one count of cruelty to animals.”
