The FBI charged Mohamed Sabry Soliman with a federal hate crime following the terror attack on a pro-Israel group in Boulder, CO.
The charging documents recommended charging Saliman for violating 18 U.S.C. §§ 249(a)(1) and (a)(2) known as the Hate Crime Acts:
Each charge recommends a maximum of 10 years in prison.
Soliman is an illegal alien from Egypt. He entered America under former President Joe Biden’s administration and received a “B1/B2 nonimmigrant visa with an authorized stay through 2/26/23.”
Then Soliman filed an asylum claim in 2022. Biden’s administration provided him with work authorization.
The authorization expired at the end of March.
FBI Agent Jessica Krueger wrote that she believes there is probable cause to believe that Soliman violated those laws “by throwing Molotov cocktails into a pro-Israel crowd while yelling ‘Free Palestine’ and injuring eight individuals.”
Police arrested Soliman at the scene:
SOLIMAN was placed under arrest and a mirandized interview was conducted by local and federal law enforcement. During the interview, SOLIMAN stated that he researched on YouTube how to make Molotov Cocktails, purchased the ingredients to do so, and constructed them. He traveled to Boulder, Colorado in his vehicle with the Molotov cocktails and threw two of the cocktails at individuals participating in a pro-Israel gathering. He also stated that he picked up gas at a gas station on the way to Boulder. He stated that he wanted to kill all Zionist people and wished they were all dead. SOLIMAN stated he would do it (conduct an attack) again. He specifically targeted the “Zionist Group” that had gathered in Boulder having learned about the group from an online search. SOLIMAN knew that they planned to meet today, Sunday, June 1 at 1pm. He arrived at approximately 12:55 p.m. and waited for them. Throughout the interview, SOLIMAN stated that he hated the Zionist group and did this because he hated this group and needed to stop them from taking over “our land,” which he explained to be Palestine. He stated that he had been planning the attack for a year and was waiting until after his daughter graduated to conduct the attack.
Krueger also described the video posted on social media with a man identified as a shirtless Soliman “holding what appear to be Molotov cocktails, glass bottles containing clear liquid with a red rag hanging from the top of the bottle.”
The FBI discovered “at least fourteen unlit Molotov cocktails, comprised of glass wine carafe bottles or Ball jars containing clear liquid and red rags hanging out of the bottles” in a black plastic container.
The agents also found “a backpack weed sprayer, potentially containing a flammable substance.”
“The clear liquid in the glass bottles and weed sprayer were determined to be 87 octane gasoline, which was determined to contain xylene based on a field test,” according to Krueger.
A car registered to Soliman had “red material consistent with the rags found in the black plastic container; a red gas container; and paperwork with the words, ‘Israel,’ ‘Palestine,’ and ‘USAID.'”
Salimon faces these state charges:
As far as I know, no one has died yet. I’m guessing the murder charge is there for procedural reasons in Colorado.
The attack injured four men and four women, aged 52 to 88. At least one is in critical condition.
