Boulder attack suspect charged with federal hate crime, said he ‘wanted to kill all Zionist people’: Court documents

The man suspected of throwing Molotov cocktails in an “act of terrorism” during a pro-Israel demonstration in Boulder, Colorado, injuring 12 people, has been charged with a federal hate crime and state charges including 16 counts of attempted first-degree murder, according to court documents.

The suspect, 45-year-old Mohamed Soliman, told investigators “he researched on YouTube how to make Molotov Cocktails, purchased the ingredients to do so, and constructed them,” the federal court documents said.

Soliman took a concealed carry class to learn how to fire a gun, but “had to use Molotov cocktails [for the attack] after he was denied the purchase of a gun due to him not being a legal citizen,” state court documents said.
